Oh, this describes my now 10 year old son very well. He is also extroverted, outgoing, loves to talk about everything, love to make people laugh. Ready for high level of input, maybe a little above grade level output. Our local gifted school is very much a bright/MG school and not really a great fit for HG+ kids. He went to public school for 2 years and that was quite disastrous.
We are now homeschooling and it's been great for my HG+, asynchronous kid(s). We do many outside of the house activities and live in an urban area, so he gets plenty of social. We are fairly laid back homeschoolers, but both our kids are wildly ahead of grade level and have plenty of time to explore far and wide. It's been a great fit for us. Both kids love learning and are learning how to face difficulties and challenges.
It felt like jumping off a cliff starting, but 3 years in, it was definitely the best decision. We'll see where the future takes us! We re-evaluate every so often.
