Welcome!
What are your dd9's interests in math? creative writing? science?
What are your ds7's interests in these areas?
What type of "gifted program" are you trying to prepare your ds3 for?
The reason I ask is because, in general, when considering afterschooling and enrichment, parents of gifted children:
- let the gifted child take the lead,
- seek resources to match the gifted child's interests/passions.
Providing a more parent-driven approach may often be considered "pushing", "hot-housing", or "tiger parenting"... approaches which may cause the child to suffer emotionally.
Have your children tested as gifted? Do they have opportunity to spend time with other intellectual peers (for example, other gifted kids)?
