I'm glad I'm not the only one who hears this :lol:

Thanks so much!

1 wk German language and culture camp - it's low key and fun; 3 days of leadership camp at a local university - an intro to team-building and light emphasis on public speaking; One week family vacay in DC - museums, marine corp band, etc..; Studying for state fair spelling bee competition in Aug.; Continue to work on Boy scout requirements and two merit badges - mammal study, bird study; Coursera course on neurobiology - listending to the lectures just for fun (no pressure and not doing the big assignments). Review of math skills and preview of new material with Math Mammoth; and reading whatever he chooses from the school reading list.

Thanks!

lol, exceptional yes, ready for grad school... that's a definite no :lol: We'll just keep that tucked away for the future.

Thanks for the link!

That course looks great and like something he would enjoy. I don't get around this site much nowadays, but when I do, I get the best info. Thanks all! Much appreciated :001_smile:

Happy birthday to your dd!! And thanks for the ideas :)

Thank you!

I haven't posted in some time, so my signature information is very out of date. Does anyone have recommendations for an exceptionally bright 11 y.o. interested in neurosciencetc and/or bioengineering. Thanks so much!

If you haven't already, I would bring the subject right out in the open and explain to you chilren why it is necessary to learn to be calm/quiet and then provide incentives and positive reinforcements for good behavior. If your child who loves percussion can spend one subject lesson without tapping, give a gold star - and so on with others and their behaviors. My ten year old guy is on the autism spectrum and can be very high energy and fidgety. I keep a small exercise trampoline in the room and let him have frequent 30 second breaks for "bouncing." This helps immensely with his energy.

Thanks all!!

Thanks!

Hello, I'm looking for book suggestions regarding my topic title. I have a bright 9 year-old looking for more in-depth study in this area. His informational reading scores places him in 8th - 9th grade reading level. His inferential scores are pretty much on level, so textbook type suggestions would be very welcome. TIA!

Thanks everyone!
