[quote=Anonymous]The serious risks are boredom, indifference, negative attitude toward school. Not challenged enough in class? Children, especially boys, may act out and even be referred for ADD / ADHD diagnosis. Our pediatrician says it happens all too frequently. More commonly, a child not adequately challenged with new material will develop a "fixed mindset" (see Carol Dweck's research). Long story short, child begins to think: "I know everything, everyone thinks I'm the 'smart kid', I'd better get 100% on every test without showing too much effort." Consequences - child "coasts" through the year, stops taking risks, quits anything he can't ace immediately, fails to develop good study habits. Far better to keep a child intellectually stimulated in school from the get-go. [/quote]
