Just don't reward him with such bullshit. Teach the kid that math and science is the coolest thing ever and teach him new stuff as a reward, and be happy and proud of him.

You don't understand what I meant. I meant having a child for the sole purpose of having him/her live the life I would have liked to live. Basically a helicopter parent that gets an ego boost for having the "perfect" child. Shit like that.

He said that you can't do anything to compensate now and that you should have started working since you were a kid, and since you can't do that, if you want to make a contribution to the world you should have your kid study from a young age instead. Your chance is already gone.
