Thanks everyone for your thoughts.
Good point, if things are easy, you miss out on learning to handle difficult problems. I hadn't thought about that. �It's not that I'm so smart , it's just that I stay with problems longer .� Albert Einstein
Good ideas too about developing other interests in music, sports, Lego Mindstorms, etc.. The internet is irresistible to my DS (and me) but I think for the good of our family we need to break that habit.
As for the G&T program in the public school, my DD went through it in grade school. It was a not too good pull out program, but it did get better in the 6th grade with dedicated classes for G&T math and English.
Thanks again.
