[quote=Anonymous]I posted earlier about the Acorn Hill camp. While I agree that parents absolutely need to accept their children for who they are, it is not misplaced for the OP to be thoughtful about helping her daughter develop as a balanced person. I just finished reading a book entitled "Hothouse Kids, The Dilemma of the Gifted Child" http://www.amazon.com/Hothouse-Kids-Dilemma-Gifted-Child/dp/1594200955. It is not the best written book but it covers an interesting subject matter. It is important to stimulate and meet the needs of bright and driven children, however, you also want them to develop a good foundation for friendships and interpersonal skills. For young children play develops some of the "soft" skills that help adults. This doesn't have to mean holding back so much as being mindful about providing the environment and opportunities needed to develop in as balanced a way possible.[/quote]
