My husband and I alternate between let's "just let him be a kid" and "something MUST be done." A
I sympathise, but in what universe does 'just being a kid' mean to sit in a classroom where they already know all the material being taught in a subject, and all the material that will be taught next year as well?
DH and I also looked for ways to feed our DS's curiosity without stealing the thunder from the teachers. All that effort and DS was still a poor fit for a regular classroom! Some kids just are born that way, it's no ones fault.
Try singing this whenever that 'just let him be a kid' thought pops back into the head, ok?
BTW - Lady Gaga was a CTY kid.
Love and More Love,
