Answer 2

LOL, I don't know, but I'd like to. Mine can be the same way a lot of times, but at other times she will get into a book or coloring or painting, or lining up all her stuffed animals and playing school.

The first suggestion is a good one. You only mention games, but what else does she have to do? Does she have dolls and stufed animals, and coloring books and play-do and all the usual stuff? Or is she just one of those kids that ignores those things? If that is the case, maybe you could go ahead and get the Hooked on Phonics and Hooked on Math and things of that nature to give her a headstart in school. A kid like that will usually take in a book like a sponge once they can read without a lot of help from you.

Answer 3

Get her thinking - mastering games doesn't stretch her brain and get her to critical think.
Make up games with her - pick a subject for her and she has to find out information and then make up a game for everyone else to play.
She'll have to do some creative thinking in setting up the game, critical thinking in making up the rules, and will love to have others playing her game.

Answer 4

Look into a Montessori style school. Unfortunately this is an expensive option. Tuition in our area is over $12,000 per year.

Answer 5

Find something that keeps changing - like a set of building blocks. My daughter loves Block and Roll set that comes with grooved and holed pieces where you can drop a marble in it and watch the marble follow the grooves and holes.

Since it is infinitely changeable, it keeps her interest for hours, plus it helps work on problem solving skills.
