The other thing that would be nice is to have some parents locally that are going through the same things we are to see what they are doing. Even if it's just to get the kids together. Any hints on this?
Hints - for Meeting other families
*Join your State Gifted Association and attend their meetings. They may have "Saturday Enrichment" programs.
*Check if any nearby Universitys sponser "Enrichment Programs."
*Chess clubs, Lego clubs, Odessy of the Mind, Destination Imagination - (Check out Karen Roger's book: Re-forming Gifted Education for other enrichment opportunities- it will also help you talk/listen to your Principle down the road)
*Hang out at the Library and snoop around looking for other 5 year olds who love the type of books your son loves. Get to know the libriarian. See if they will sponser a Parent-child book discussion club for 5-9 year olds based on some books your son really likes. See if they have a game night.
*Local Museams may have "kids day" activities, great for meeting like minded parents.
Does any of this sound like your cup of tea?
