JB, I sympathize. We had good luck with recommendations for my boys, as they were more open about showing their gifts. But my girls are less vocal in public, less likely to do things that make people go "Wow!" My older dd did get a nice rec from a friend who had her in a homeschool science class- dd was the youngest by far and came up with the best solution to one of the group challenges. But for my youngest, who is not yet five, I am not sure where to turn. I actually took out the app forms the other day and reviewed them, and decided that I need to get her interacting more with other adults, in order to give them a chance to know her better.
