Hi everyone...I've been lurking around and reading, and would like to see if anyone could advise regarding my DD. She is 9 y/o in 4th grade. Although she's been in g/t programs since 2nd grade, I didn't fully understand until fairly recently that g/t programs vary widely, may not provide her with what she really needs academically or otherwise and that it's up to me to find her the kind of programming she needs.
Or they might be exactly what she needs...how does one tell?
Is she happy?
Does she like school?
Does she like the gifted program?
When she went to SIG, was it the year she was with older kids or younger kids?
How would she compare SIG to regular school and to the school's gifted program?
Is she willing to do things that might single her out as 'a nerd' or 'a smart girl?'
Is she willing to try things that she might not be immediatly good at?
that my list...what's your's?
Love and More Love,
Grinity
