[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is very advanced in both reading/humanities and math/science. (Just admitted to both Blair and RM IB program) - this advice is based on my approach. I recommend you follow your kids lead which probably means backing off and not searching for “enrichment” opportunities. Encourage them at school (if they want to join math team they will), take them to museums and plays, art galleries and the library. Encourage reading, talk to them about numbers, talk to them about current affairs, read the newspaper together, spend time as a family etc. Beyond that remember they are a kid and don’t be that pushy parent. That’s how you keep the passion for learning alive.[/quote]

OP is here. Thank you for sharing your experience. I agree to let kids lead. Both of my kids ask to be challenged because learning is fun.

Their father is a mathematician, and their grandma is a professor in English literature. So they get exposure to these subjects and get fascinated/motivated.

My goal is to provide my kids with interesting options so they can spend their time doing what they want.

If anybody wants to answer my original questions, I'd appreciate!  Thanks.[/quote]
