Gifted people are very interesting, but they can be challenging to people of average intelligence. I know a guy who took his first flight lesson on his 5th birthday.
Because of his intelligence level, he will have very little in common with children his age. He should mature at his rate, not the “standard” rate.
If you want him to keep advancing, keep advancing him. Make sure that he learns how to learn, then feed his mind with constant opportunities to learn. He will thrive on constant mental challenges. Continue giving him opportunities to theorize something, and then put it into action.
Don’t let his mind stagnate in a boring mundane education. The worst possible situation would be for him to be in a school system that does not understand or recognize his intelligence and would not know what to do with him. Don’t let them “dumb him down” to mediocrity.
Make sure that he knows that he has a gift and he should nurture and use his gift. In a very positive way, he will realize that he is special and therefore will have special opportunities.

Thats why im thinking of going back......His mom can teach him. We have always told him he is smart...he does know it. grandparents of his friends asked me last yr...."why is he so smart? My grandkids dont know what he knows"? I said, because we teach him. Thanks for the great advise!!!!

Just another thought - work with him to hone his memory. A big part of learning is memorizing facts, concepts, patterns, relationships. Intelligence is analyzing and applying everything in the memory in countless negative and positive combinations, then searching for missing variables and explaining the newly found solutions and conclusions.
Best wishes.

Keep him envolved in math and music. They complement each other and are common with high IQ individuals. Add languages to that list. Don't have to play music or speak other languages their whole lives, if they don't want to. However it is critical to their development that they are exposed to them during their elementary school years.
