At this age - they should be PLAYING. Playing is work and learning and all vice versa.

An hour a day curriculum for a 6 yo?? oh dear.

OTOH - if she WANTS TO DO IT - go for it!!!!!

But if she doesn't - well, that's a lot of time on one subject for one so young - even one so gifted.

What curriculum might I ask?

Sometimes you can accomplish the same "learning experience" through play that you do through a worksheet, etc.

Having two - of disparate ability, style, energy - yeah - it takes a bit more planning/practice - but again - if it's "play learning" - it's a bit easier to manage.

If you're serious about hs'ing - and your older is gifted there are groups for hs'ing gifted kids.

There are many different styles of learning, teaching, parenting, etc.

And what works for one, may not work for the other. The key is flexibility.
