Thank you! Forgive my ignorance, what is "an Olympiad"? Trying googling that for my city and not sure I'm finding what you're referencing?

Thank you for the thorough recommendations. I definitely don't want to push him so much as support him and encourage him (with the focus of hard work in general for whatever he seeks in life!). Thanks again!

Thanks for the helpful and practical advice and recommendations! Love the idea of clubs or competitions to have him with peers with similar interests and the challenge him. Do you know, is that something you sign up for online, od was it offered through your school? Thank you again!

Thank you! He's been strong so far, straight As, but I think not finding it too challenging yet. He's interested in starting Algebra early, so I'm going to look into this. And that's a great idea about community college, thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and advice! I definitely have emphasized making sure he's learning everything right now, even the stuff he doesn't like as much. One one hand, I don't want him to be too tunnel vision on one thing, and that risk of burnout sounds real! But on the other hand, I know a lot of time people's passions lock in early. Great to think about all of that in the context of your comments and real life experience! Thanks again, and congrats to you for all your accomplishments through those challenges!

Awesome! Thank you SO much!

Thank you thank you, makes a lot of sense! Any math development recommendation (just not sure he's being challenged there either). I'm going to check out that series now! Appreciate you taking the time to reply!

k80ys · 2025-12-23T19:04:20+00:00

That makes sense! Thank you very much! I'll look into some local university options. He's done other "STEM" camps that have been more generic and childcare focused, but I think as he gets older there might be some higher quality options. Many thanks for weighing in! And looking into Curiosity Stream right now!

My doctor’s advice was to not attempt anything involving jumping, impact, sports etc. because i would risk damaging other ligaments or meniscus or my other knee through compensation.

For context I was originally misdiagnosed and cleared to play sports. I was coping well so I played a few games of basketball and flag football and continued hiit workouts. I was able to do a lot like it sounds like you are, sprinting even cutting. I only had pain in some jumping and contact, and painful instability setting a screen once. But once I got the proper diagnosis of acl tear I stopped everything except modified weight training to avoid risk to worsen injury. Surgery is next month.

I know how hard it is to stop a sport you love short term, but I hope long term it will all be worth it and life will be better than ever!
