He'll love it when he hits Algebra. His reading level is awesome. I was always about 4 grades ahead in reading but I didn't really take off until the 3ed grade. You're kid is going to be really smart.

>We’re working on transitioning from reward based discipline to consequence based. It’s not going well and I don’t know of it’s because it’s too soon, or he’s just bucking the new system. He’s a bit rebellious.

My parents eventually adopted taking away things I really valued as punishments. I learned some hard lessons and self control that way. Spankings and incentives never worked with me. Whatever you do don't let him lawyer his way out of it of punishments. I got away with that way to much as a kid and it wasn't healthy.
