... issues... Ie, sensitivities, making ones house child proof when your child can figure out how to break past normal child proofing measures, and behavioral issues.
I've not seen much forum activity on childproofing. Issues of gifted sensitivities and behavioral issues related to giftedness may be well-addressed by a team of caring teachers who "get" gifted. The teaching team might, in some cases, partner with those who've worked with the child/family for IQ/achievement testing.
Now, I believe is the optimum time to start planning that entry; not 2 or 3 years from now. Definitely not when she is in the 2nd or 3rd grade, and has had much possibly avoidable negative interactions with the education system.
This is admirable. Some may undertake this effort by visiting directly with the local educational options, as well as beginning to document the child's interests, activities, and efforts, including creating a list of books read. The needs and growth of children can vary considerably over time. This may be especially pronounced with gifted children, who may need or benefit from a significantly different learning environment from year to year. Which is to say, your child may need advocacy in 2nd or 3rd grade, despite your best efforts at planning now.
