[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he is interested in math, encourage taking part in math competitions. Not Mathcounts as much as the AMC-10/12/AIME/USA(J)MO series. They get progressively harder so that even the 0.1% kids find them challenging. They are quite different from what is taught in school and require creativity, insight and hard work to succeed. And the contest community is full of similar kids (at least the ones who take it seriously and do well). If contests aren't your DS' cup of tea, then there are summer camps like Euclid, Mathly, PROMYS, PRIMES which delve into research math that is a whole other level.[/quote] He does not like competing academically. He is super competitive athletically, but avoids competition for anything else. [/quote]
