<p>I feel like the worst parent on this board. My sons Rabbi turned him on to the internet in 1st or 2nd grade. I had no idea. I never bought him a book on mathematics. At best, we learned how to play Simm games. Somehow or other, my son learned about math, borrowed books on Calculus, started a math club in HS, and did everything without my help or even knowledge. I didn’t know what AIME meant. At age 7, I would not even have thought of him as “mathy”, yet have tried to encourage this interest. All I can say is to relax, let him explore at his own pace, and see what develops. If he is truly gifted, he will find his way. At age 7, his social developent is as important as his math development.</p>
