I'd call it hothousing if: 1) it's your idea, not your dd's idea
Hmm... I don't know if I fully agree, just based on Madeinuk's comment about executive skills withering on the vine because everything is so easy (and many of them won't, without prompting, do difficult and low interest things "just because it's good for me")
I haven't read the whole thread yet so I'm sure other people have chimed in already. This, however, is an area I feel strongly about - I almost think sometimes the kids who are NOT gifted or who have dual exceptionalities that create challenge are the ones who have a better shot in life because they are forced to learn work ethic. Mind you, if you're able to accelerate your gifted kid at school so the challenge is there, then problem solved. However I speak as one of the formerly unchallenged gifted kids who has suffered as a result, so... I make sure my kids struggle.
