Thanks Trinity,
Yes, I agree, and thank you for great ideas. I really need to be more positive with him--you're right. I do hope to meet with the gifted counselor at the high school with my son and get her input. I asked our ditd counselor, too, and she wisely said don't look too far ahead (don't get bogged down with the 4-yr plan yet). Start with what he wants and change it if it's not working. She also encouraged using his free time for mentorships or community service project (which he otherwise might not have time for if accelerated too much). I thought this was a great idea, too.
