I think your concerns are valid and no apology is necessary but it is appreciated. What I did not get into in my original post is how I am currently integrating the teachings into his life. Rule #1 for me is to never assume what my child is capable or incapable of learning. Rule #2 do not force learning and figure out how to make it enjoyable. I have already started teaching him how to read. Most mornings I ask him if he wants to play letters. If he says no we do something else. If he says yes I practice with him. It started out learning to recognize the word CAT. After one week it turned into learning about 12 words. Now it consists of practicing his vowel sounds. Typically we play this game for about 5 minutes. I always do this in the morning because that is when he is the most open to learning. We use a dry erase board so somewhere around the 5 minute mark it degenerates into doodling pictures of cats, dogs, mommy and daddy. Sometimes he wants to try and trace the letters on the board. The best part is, even when letters is over and we are drawing, he is still learning. So I do not believe that I am in danger of turning him off to the joys of learning. He is already playing dragon box. He can play up to the 13th level by himself at which point he starts asking daddy for help. He usually asks for daddy's phone about once a week to play dragon box. His favorite part is when the dragon gets bigger. Then he yells "It got bigger daddy! :)" Assume nothing, try everything and you will discover amazing things.
