The Most Important Thing You Need for Homeschooling Your Gifted Child

 

There are so many curricular choices when it comes to homeschooling your gifted kids. How do you know what the most important thing you need for homeschooling your gifted child is?

• Should you purchase a boxed curriculum? {But what about the asynchronous learner?}
• Piece it together yourself? {Where do you start?}
• Write your own? {You don’t have time to do it all.}
• Forget about formal curriculum altogether? {Why homeschool your gifted kid anyway?}

It can feel overwhelming and impossible to navigate, and can leave a mom feeling discouraged before she even begins. And, unfortunately there’s no perfect answer. Every gifted kid – even those in the same family – is completely different than the next.

They can be:

• empathetic
• unsympathetic
• eager to learn
• resistant to learn
• hands-on
• bookish
• charismatic
• shy

So, what do I think the most important thing you need for homeschooling your gifted child is?

 

Flexibility.

Yep, the most important thing you need for homeschooling your gifted child successfully is flexibility. I know, I know… it’s not a thing. But, hear me out.

In fact, you can hear me out – here’s a vlog I put together explaining why I think flexibility is the most important thing you need for homeschooling your gifted child successfully.
