So for now in these tender years when she's eager... I'd like to see her move on (IF, and ONLY IF, she wants to) so that she can enjoy learning... then when she's older I would expect her to assimilate back into her own age group while getting more stimulation at home and learning to just DEAL WITH it if she's bored around her peers. I think that's easier to expect later than now.
Thanks!
Hi Brittany -
This is my best guess also, it is easier to deal with some bordom if you are an older child, AND if you are motivated by enjoying the social interaction. And by then you will have found a good balance between academic needs and social times. For sure it doesn't work the other way around, I've tried that one!
I'd take the 60$ CAT, and see what the tutoring center can offer. Flexability is the name of the game, and if she is having fun, then you know it's the right thing. Any gifted program could be right or wrong for any gifted kid - the ideal thing is to have a test that chooses kids who will benifit from the program. In a way, this tutoring center 'counts' as a gifted program for your daughter as long as they place her in a group that is learning at her readiness level.
Welcome,
