[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid took the same test in 2nd, scored higher than yours by quite a bit and is now a 14 yr old rising freshman. My advice to you is to focus on the other aspects in her life that aren't academic. Find something she doesn't naturally excel in and let her learn to fail and work hard. For my dd that was swim team. So many life lessons learned by doing something that wasn't easy. I love this. You really get it! I have a gifted friend who never learned to ride a bike. It was hard and she was so used to things coming easily that she gave up when things got difficult. Stop worrying! You have a bright kid who is also self-directed. Awesome. Now make sure he learns what it is like to struggle and work hard. This will help him stay grounded and humble. [/quote] Sorry to the above poster, but I don't think think you do get it...this kids is far, far more thank just bright and self directed.[/quote]
