Our 9-year-old is working at a 13-year-old academic level. We struggle to keep him engaged without pushing into material he is emotionally not ready for.

Breadth before depth for gifted younger children. Go wide across many subjects rather than pushing vertically into older material.

Mentorship matters more than curriculum for the genuinely gifted. A relationship with a passionate expert in his area of strength is worth more than any textbook.

Watch carefully for perfectionism and anxiety. Gifted children who are always ahead academically sometimes struggle with being average at anything.
