[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a kid is gifted enough, no school is going to be the perfect fit. You have to decide what you are willing to give up. [/quote] You are right, but we’re not looking for the perfect fit, just the best possible fit. We started out thinking social/emotional development was more important than intellectual and academic challenge. Now, I think we need greater balance between the two. We had dismissed both Nysmith and Feynman when DC was 4, but will now give both a closer look. We had also not wanted him to spend time outside of school on gifted enrichment programs, because we do believe play is very important. I think he may now enjoy CTY-type enrichment. We still want him to have after school playtime with his friends, so I’m not sure how to fit everything together. Thanks to everyone who has posted with helpful information and advice. I’d really appreciate recommendations for OTs who work with sensitivity in gifted children. [/quote]
