Parenting Tip: Don't throw away those broken appliances, radios, and computer parts.  If your gifted child is interested in seeing how things work, let him or her take these things apart.  Give your child a screwdriver and a wrench.  Or better yet, buy your child a set of tools just for him or her.

Warning! Be sure to cut off any plugs and wires.  Cut them off as close to the object as possible before giving it to your child.  Also, if the appliance has any kind of battery, it's best to remove it.
