[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously, just supplement a lot. Have him take language lessons, do fun advanced math/logic puzzles, send him to interesting camps. Re-evaluate private for middle school. Private school is great but you aren't necessarily going to get more accelerated academics in 4th/5th grade. There are a lot of gifted kids who are not being particularly challenged at this age, but it's not that important. As they move into MS and HS, they will get experience doing "hard" academics and learning to cope with them. [/quote] This. And my HS BF truly was brilliant, full scholarship to MIT, math Olympian, etc. And save his parents getting him into college math/science classes in morning as he had already taken all of the available classes at our HS, his parents told him to figure the rest of it out on how to challenge himself as they were not going to allow him to graduate early.
