Is she at all interested in on-line discussion? Do you think that could conceiveably fill that need for depth and challenge?
My ds15 gravtitated to this all of a sudden last summer when he was 14. He got wrapped up in the discussion groups on Reddit.com ... especially those focused on atheism, social activism, anarchism, politics and ethics. He began writing a blog with his opinions more fleshed out there and working away at various thought experiments, and began posting links to his blog posts and getting tons of feedback from people on Reddit. This pushed him into spending hours researching and reading, developing cogent arguments to back up his postulates. I'm blown away these days by what he knows of the complexity of the world, and how carefully he has thought through his beliefs and understandings.
