    we don't have to feed him books. he devours them. two a week from school. plus his own collection. he is playing the wii at the moment but will be off to bed in a moment. he'll read by himself for an hour i expect.

        we used to take him into shops and he'd just read out everything he saw. this tiny, tiny thing not out nappies yelling foodstuffs and prices from the trolley.

          he's the same with numbers. we kind of stopped him getting into fractions and percentages late last year - it was just getting downright silly.

            No. Just let him do it.
            And from my experience - don't tell him he's clever. That was such a weight.

              oh we don't. we have never pushed him or tutored him. fed and encouraged yes but no pushiness.

                no idea where he gets it from. really is no precedence for it.

                    I always tell my girls how clever they are, because they are.

                    I have also told DD1 the parable of the clever boy who didn't work very hard at university because he didn't need to, and ended up not doing nearly as well as he should have done.....
