I will look forward to a post on how the interview was.<br /><br />My son is also quite advanced for his age and now in the 4th grade in the Anne Arundel county schools. We are lucky here because they have a great Talented & Gifted program, but I often struggle with whether or not he is getting all he needs intellectually at school. (I also scoff at the 15 minute requirement of reading LOL! if they only saw his bedside table!) <br /><br />Unfortunately I don't have any options except to keep him in public school, but what I try to do is keep his mind stimulated outside of school. <br /><br />Also - I think Ann made a great point earlier about making sure Zach sees you working for the money that gives him what he gets to have in life. That is also a tremendous education. <br /><br />Hope everything went well today - and I may try to stop by the festival at Quiet Waters this weekend! :)Amy S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04782289852859434986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-71436484198065845.post-58410796462335326642010-09-21T14:20:22.141-04:002010-09-21T14:20:22.141-04:00Adorable little man!!!

While that is honorable, she is now suffering. My advice to her is to be an artist in front of him. And not to devote every waking moment of his at his service.<br /><br />You bead with your child, which is great! You should also show him that you work and create for a living. This can be a great learning opportunity for him. Money doesn't just appear in the bank, we need to work for it. Don't let him not see the effort.<br /><br />He is so cute! Have a great day and thanks for posting!<br /><br />Ann<br />http://www.mycriticaleye.comAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05803025668922198538noreply@blogger.com
