You just do the best you can; that's all a parent can do. These are tough times to bring up children. They used to "have to" grow up; today adulthood can be postponed nearly indefinitely. In ways that is good; in ways it is bad.

I sympathize with you both but it sounds like you have a good relationship with him and that is what is important. You might have him take French in school. The grammar might cool his ardor . . . on the other hand he may end up a diplomat in France!
