This is a good thread, and so is the one about social anxiety. I am going to have to address these issues head-on in the next few years with my DS5.
Even now some of them have started to crop up. I am sort of half-bought in to the ideas behind unschooling, with limitations, so for example after discussion with my son (who tends to go off on one thing for a while), I told him I was fine with him doing whatever he likes on any particular day, but that we would have to make sure that we get fairly regular doses of math and reading. He was fine with it.
