I have a bright and gifted child as well...her OCD makes it hard sometimes to teach her, but she is very intelligent. She is only 5 but is reading, and doing other curicula on a first grade level, but her math is advanced to a second grade level. She is home schooled for both these reasons...I have found that she flourishes when I set a challenge and allow her tofind the answer on her own...i also try to get her to do things that she normally would do, but I give her an added challenge to go with it...her OCD and love of learning pushes her to try harder and find new ways to learn. Its worked for us, but it may not work for everyone.
