Is Mensa Good For Kids?

I joined British Mensa when I was 16 - I became slightly disillusioned after a time with the Committee and the way I thought the organization was going so I dropped out. When I realised that our 8 year old son was gifted, I rekindled my membership mainly to see what sort of support was available for him. They have a Gifted and Talented Programme which is quite good but from a UK perspective but beyond that I find there is little which is specifically targeted to gifted childrens needs. Most of their meetings and social events are adult orientated as is their magazine so the value of membership I feel is slightly limited. By far the best organisation I have found is the NAGC - National Association for Gifted Children. They have tons of fact sheets and advice, an excellent magazine and a far better support system designed for children and parents too. Their UK website is www.nagcbritain.org.uk although I'm sure there is a US based one too.
