I know that at times I tended to think that my sons

had the same kind of learning profile that I did.

And I was suddenly aw amazed one day.

I was helping my older son learn German vocabulary.

And I was coming up with my own new mnemonic and suddenly he turned to me and he said, Mom, you're a visual learner and I'm an auditory learner.

I can't use your method.

Good for you.

So it's fun for us as parents to um assess our own learner profiles when our kids are doing it and compare and contrast and to celebrate the differences as well as the ways in which we have some familial similarities.

Three is knowing what options are available, what opportunities, either with that already exists within the educational community around us.

And I'd say community because it may be a school district, it may be a homeschooling group, it may be an individual, at home, parent, child educational situation, but what options and opportunities are out there?

And the exciting thing about the last five to ten years is there are more and more opportunities.

opportunities available.

online resources, more college courses online, more charter schools, especially public charter schools that are s free of charge to kids, and more opportunities for homeschool kids to homeschool part-time and be in public schools at times.

There is a book edited by Felicia Dixon and it's available from the National Association for Gifted Children.

It's called Programs and Services

courses for gifted secondary students.

And the reason I especially like it, even though it's for secondary students, it gives elementary and middle school students a chance to look ahead at what might be available down the road and help them to plan what they might do in the future.

But it also gives them an idea of things that they may be ready for, accelerated opportunities that they might be ready for at a younger age.
