Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums THINKING BIG About Gifted Education Computer based training (CBT)

I ran across this Wikipedia page recently, in my normal routine self-teaching of somewhat inaccurate information:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concerted_cultivation

I don't necessarily agree with it, but just recalled it. I would say that if one's kid likes a lot of scheduled activities, it can't be too wrong to schedule them.

In my own case I was kind of introverted and shy as a kid, and enjoyed reading a great deal. I don't think I would have enjoyed such a full schedule. But that's just me. I can see that even though I would have perhaps chafed a bit, I might have come out the other end of a full schedule with better social skills.
