We have just started down this gifted road. My DS (see, I am learning the lingo...) is very friendly and personal, but has trouble keeping long term friends. We have not searched out other gifted children yet, but may do so.
We have not started school yet either. (other than pre-school). His birthday is a couple weeks before the cutoff (k starts at 5 here). But we held him back because we did not want him to be the youngest in his class (I was growing up. It is not fun being the youngest/littlest). The ironic part is we may end up pushing to have him skip grades...
We recently changed him from an unstructured play based pre-k (where he wasn't doing well) to a structured academic K/transitional. He is doing great so far and loves it (fingers crossed).
Once again, thanks for the help.
