Super math skills (the most advanced for his grade, without me pushing him at all), but his super speed makes 50% answers wrong frequently if he rushes.

I am not sure what to do either. But I think things will come around as he grows up. He probably just does not understand the importance of math (or whatever parents think are important) yet. I am Not worried at all.

I am encouraging (not pushing) him to play chess. That might help slow him down as he has to think each step, otherwise he loses.

Encouraging means that I invite my friends to come to play chess with me and he watches, and I help invite his classmates who play chess and they come and THEY ask to play chess with him, AS SOON AS they see the beautiful Star War chess set I purposely set up on a table in my piano room. They all love Star Wars and can not resist Star War chess set. Tricky Daddy.-:))

Pushing would mean that "you play chess or you will work at McDonalds in the future". -:))
