[quote=Anonymous]I try to make my kids' environment as rich and interesting as I can. That doesn't mean I pay through the nose for Mandarin for Twos and Classical Guitar for Threes, but we read a lot of books -- fiction and nonfiction -- do simple science experiments, talk about why stuff happens/doesn't happen, etc. Sources for more information are always discussed as well -- "Let's get a book on that from the library," "I bet we can find a video of that on the computer." I want them to grow up knowing the difference between extra learning that's interesting and extra work that's just, well, work. I remember far too many times that it was assumed that if the "regular" kids were getting one page of math problems, the way to challenge the gifted kids was to give them three pages of the same crap.[/quote]
