Just came across this forum and I wanted to drop an introduction since this seems to be a resource I can use. I have a 5 year old son who is profoundly gifted. He is currently attending a Montessori school and is currently in the 6th grade. His academic potential is amazing and somewhat scary. The wife and I are unable to see any plateau or slowing down of his ability to learn that we are now seeing frustration in our boy as his academic and intellectual age is overwhelming his emotional age. We are not pushing him but he seems to be driven to learn and learn and learn.
He is a bright, overt and charming boy who stands his ground with the older kids he is in school with and feels that he is not treated as the adult he feels he is here at home and at school.
To add to this, his younger brother is also showing the same signs as my oldest at about 6-9 months behind his elder brother at that age.
So I have found this place looking for answers to some of the questions we have on how best take care of our boys.
