I don't know if it was my parents' solution or my own personality, but I didn't want to do something to first-chair school level, I wanted to do it like an adult who was good at it. Languages the same: I ended up skipping a year of French class because I kept trying to teach myself more French, because I wanted to speak French, and it got to the point where taking the year would have been pointless. This caused problems with my school.
Possibly with a child who's insanely driven on her own in that particular way, anything will work, and I should defer to the experience of people who are not like that.
