[quote=Anonymous]Enroll him in NySmith if you don't mind the long drive. I'm being somewhat facetious but I know some NW DC parents who did that and seemed happy with their choice. You haven't said if your kid is happy or bored and unsatisfied. If your kid is happy, I would let him be. So much of ES is developing social and emotional skills. Provide a lot of enriching activities at home and you should be fine. You can have the kid take an online course or introduce him to computer programming. Learning Adobe Photoshop can be a really fun and creative activity for some kids and there are many layers of complexity to it. Take him to the Tech shop in Crystal City, VA. Very cool place with 3D printers, laser cutters, etc. They offer some kids classes too. Introduce him to a new sport like fencing or a game like chess or scrabble. The possibilities are endless. Good luck![/quote]
