Would look into Montessori school systems. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montessori_education

It's a problem being so far ahead of your peers. Average people seem dumb, and that's because comparatively they are (relative word anyway).

These are two separate things. Kids like herself I think you mean kids her own age, but she's not like them. More accurately kids like herself would also be on par with people 2x+ her age.

Do what kids do... which means dumbing her down, or at least in her perspective what babies do. Imagine someone wanted you, an adult, to play and act like a 5 year old for years on end.

I'm not a parent, and don't ever plan on being one. I do not claim to understand your worries and struggles. Raising a child is challenging, the results from same actions can vary greatly. You have less to draw from since your experience is going to be greatly different from the norm. Maybe talk to your parents to see how they would have wanted things to be if resources wasn't an issue. Find online groups for this (and likely stay away from people that think they're child is the greatest).

Best of luck.
