How does one teach work ethic to gifted children when often times most things are "not that hard"...

We're struggling to provide appropriate material, DD8 is 1 year accelerated already and we are homeschooling. We go through the material and none of the material is "hard" where she has to work at it.

We are working through 3rd Grade material, just because I don't want her to miss anything, but we are also working on reading/writing material that is ~ 4th-5th Grade. We're enjoying science discovery.

We have "extra curricular" things like musical instrument etc which require "work", but that seems to be about it. Hmm.

Do you have any thoughts or recommendations, advice, anything? smile
