[quote=Anonymous]My son is in the same category but socially he is solidly still a first grader. We've met with his school several times, and together decided to keep him in class at an age appropriate level.  There is no formal gifted program at his school but he gets pulled out for extra math and science, and his classroom teacher keeps him challenged with reading.

In addition his dad is a scientist so they do lots of goofy learning projects together outside of school, and I write with him or just google stuff that he's curious about sometimes.  But really we're mostly just focused on him being happy, being challenged, making friends, and indulging his hobbies and interests like any other family.  He's a smart kid so I'm pretty confident that he'll always be curious and always be learning, but like any 7 year old boy, he also needs to learn to follow directions, play well with others, and be willing to try in areas where he's not all that exceptional (like soccer!)  - and that's what we focus on at school.
