Thanks Mia. Great definition by EandCmom (I just realized - E and C are actually my kid's initials too!).

I think you can tell if you're hothousing if your kids seem stressed or overwhelmed by anything you're doing. I like the phrase "child led".

And Kriston - you are an amazing homeschool teacher since you're obviously very sensitive to what your DS seems ready for and what approach may work best for him! Clearly not hothousing!
