What a great topic! My DD is only 4 so I made a mental note of some of your suggestions to pull out later on. My only experience so far came up when we had her evaluated and she asked why. I just told her that everyone learns differently and we were trying to figure out how she learns. At the end she asked what we found out and I simply said that we found out that she learns quicker and remembers more of what she learns than most people, that is a good thing, and not to worry about it. She seemed happy with the answer. She generally just "knows" when she needs more information and has no problem asking for it. She is starting kindergarten in a few weeks a year early. I figure I might get some more questions from her at that time. We have not told her that she is starting a year early I hope this is the right move. It is a hard balance.
