Accelerate your child without putting pressure on him. Gifted kids often thrive in a homeschool environment as it allows them to move at their own pace.

Enroll your child in music lessons, chess club, or some other intellectual outlet that gives them the opportunity for creative expression coupled with the learning of a practical skill.
