I, too, am glad to hear from you, bronxmom, and am glad you are having some luck with homeschooling. smile

I'm not sure about the ADHD question. I hope someone will have help for you.

As for the "more computer time or no?" question, a leading psych for GT kids gave us some good advice when I began homeschooling DS8 that might apply to your situation, at least in a roundabout way.

He said that the temptation for many parents of HG+ kids who homeschool is to focus too much on the child's relative weaknesses. He suggested a 3:1 ratio of time spent on strong areas:time spent on weak areas. In this way the child would have plenty of time to enjoy school and to feel good about what s/he can do, but would still have time to improve on the weaker areas.

Maybe this ratio works for computer time:book time for you, since the computer seems to be the strength? (Assuming that you don't see behavior problems with more computer time, of course.)

Just a thought...
