This will be a thread devoted to ideas about child rearing. I'll give my model as concisely as I can.
1. No TV/video games/internet browsing
2. Forced to learn Latin and perhaps Greek. Possibly Spanish, but hopefully in won't be necessary in the future.
3. Home schooled. The purpose will for him to get as many 5 as possible in almost all the AP tests and get the highest scores he can in the ACT and SAT tests. Maybe a few classes on how to do well in college. The goal is to get him into HYPSM.
4. Brought up in the Catholic faith, with Confession and Mass every Saturday and Sunday respectively. Will try to make the faith engaging for him.
5. If he has friends, they will only be those I approve of.
6. He will learn an instrument, preferably the piano.
