[quote=Anonymous]Great problem, OP! I would support the kid in their interest in reading. I went to college with a now famous economist and he used to show up to parties with books or textbooks, and then he'd just sit in a corner (usually near the host's bookshelf) reading while everyone else was drinking and assessing their mating options. He's happily married now and loves his career (not quite Nobel but you'd probably know him by name if I told you, given that this is DCUM and all). My husband's parents used to insist he put his books away and go to bed by 9pm. He spent much of his childhood nights reading in secret under the covers, and I think it screwed up his sleep patterns for life. I'm not sure what his parents could have done differently, though.[/quote]
