    Start her on a new language, teach her how to build a Rube-Goldberg project and the physics behind it. Have her learn Origami, Chess and 3-D tanagrams.

    Ummm...who would teach her those things. LOL! I never took physics in my life and I only know English and what on earth is a tanagram...lol..:)

    I do teach her what I can. She learned to knit when she was 6. She loves to draw. She keeps a Blog and likes to use Photoshop..:) Cause I know it well and am able to show her how. I feel like everything I know how to do, she learns quickly and I am running out of things to show her...Although she certainly has a way to go to perfect some of her skills. If she could get a sound out of the flute, I would teach her that...but she can't. She took a year of piano and sometimes learns a little more on her own.

    I CAN play chess, however, and so can she. I bet we are a good match. She has my DH genetic make-up! He went to college at 14, full time. Not, me. smile BUT, since he's the smart one, he's also the working one. So, he can't do a lot of teaching.

    Sydness,

    Learn it together! Rube Goldberg is basically a "build a better mousetrap" using things that are laying around the house. Buy Rosetta Stone, google your butt off! DS8 and I have learned so many things together. He actually appreciates this more than just sharing information. He watches me struggle to understand new concepts and he feels great about the effort it takes. When he can, he helps me through the spots that confuse me, it's awesome!

    You can learn anything if you choose to. With the internet there are directions, videos, places to ask questions, everything you need.
