[quote=Anonymous]If he sees grades as the end all-be all, make sure you are regularly pointing out "successful" people in areas other than academics. Remark openly on his friends who have wonderful personalities or skills but maybe aren't "book smart." Make sure he sees that emotionally smart people can be even more successful than book smart people. As he gets older he might become more aware that being seen as smart is not always a good thing socially if that's all you have going for you. It sounds like he's insecure about having anything else people would like about him except his brains. [/quote]
