<p>Not true. This 13 year old is not a full fledged adult in a 13 year old body but a child with asynchronous brain development. Certain cognitive portions of brain may develop much quicker, enabling much advanced class work, yet emotionally, organizationally, socially, be age-appropriate, or even delayed in development. There are pre kindergardeners who can read at teen age level yet be 3 year old in all other behavior.</p>
<p>Despicableme: Its hard having a very gifted child (don’t have one myself). I would do whatever it takes to make this a successful and positive experience for you child.</p>
