Yes, I agree, definitely these are first world problems. But that doesn't mean it's not important.
I will be watching this thread (and probably about to make a new thread), because DD4 appears to be globally gifted. At the moment, she goes to preschool where there are no academics. I am holding off on formal music instruction because she is having a talent "explosion" in gymnastics and I am just trying to keep up with that. (She was just skipped to another level again. So, she is working with kids 3 years older.) We are likely going to homeschool her (and the other children) full time, so I am not worried about school cutting into her passions. And that's how I choose, by the way, what to invest in, for her. If she is passionate about it, we will do it.
