Yes, he does think intelligently and he is a smart boy. If he was dumb, whatever I do, he'll stay that regardless. If he's smart, he'll find the way whatever I do anyway. I hope you get my point. I think way too many parents waste their time going in circles and overthinking what they should do - follow my simple logic and life will be blissful for everyone. Don't worry too much - there's little you can do anyway! Plus, even if I told him that he's average, everybody else (including his teacher) tell him that he's not. Well, I'm not telling him that he's a genius and I try to explain the difference between stupid (the majority of the people), smart (10%), and geniuses (<1%). At least he's smart enough to get his! :)
