I was a "gifted" child in grammer/high school. I am now a mother and firmly believe that the best thing was that My mother found other outlets for me to try. Rather than challenging your child academically, you need to give her a social challenge. Get her involved in a volunteer program. Take her to a homeless shelter, to a zoo or farm, even a hospital or nursing home...even an animal shelter. I am sure that your town has volunteer opportunities. You can even check with your chamber of commerce or town hall. This way, she is experiencing other forms of "authority".

Take her out of her element and bring her down to earth!
