Sad to say my gifted son who hates writing, most reading and english, is getting a mountain-board!
Funnily enough this ties in with a comment I was thinking of posting on the other thread and that is, it's important to remember that gifted children need an outlet, somewhere to let off energy, preferably in the fresh air and where they are likely to mix with other kids their own age.
Physical activity is one area where they can mix on a level playing field with kids their own age (sometimes preferring company of older kids or adults verbally)- and of course, it doesnt do these kids any harm at all to 'not be the best' for once in a different arena!!
(ps - lorel, I hope you got joke about the Egyptians? ie the story was about Amun Aphet the Sung God!)
