I came back to add a second thought on the academically blessed child of BigBear ... For me school was not a challenge and I typically did well with little effort. It became an expectation of me rather than a praised accomplishment. Make sure to take the time to reward him. I look at school for a child as a stepping stone to working as an adult. We receive rewards for a job done well by means of raises, bonuses, promotions. Children deserve the same praises for doing their job well. I had to explain this to my parents when I was in high school.

i know pixie parents are bright parents but I wanted to throw that out there (not just for BigBear).

Carry on... don't mind my slight hijack
