My ten year old son is the best person that I've ever known, morally and intellectually. I fear that I won't be strong enough to protect his greatness.

i feel the same way about my 8 y.o. He has so much potential that if he doesn't grow up to be something great, I know it will be all my fault.

Beside worrying, why dont you just stayed calm and let greatest grow itself? Just dont do anything stupid to make him feel shame of you.

^I doubt thats the worst that could happen. To the OP: Just keep his spirit safe and intact. Make sure he continues to do what he enjoys and not what everyone else is doing.

remember our kids are everything thats Good about us. They grow their own flaws through life that aren't part of you. When kids are made they get the BESt parts of mom and dad not the worse so be happy of your contributiion and don't over protect, you kids have to learn.

For some reason, this reminds me of the Hitler painting where he is portrayed as a knight upon a horse.

Get over yourself. Every 10 y/o is that way. They haven't been corrupted yet.

I didn't hear REAL cuss words until middle school 30 years ago. Now kindergartners tell you to go f*** yourself.

Do the best of which you are capable, and never fault yourself for what you are not.

Seriously? Your 10 year old is the greatest person you know? I have a 7 yo that is the cat's pajamas, but I do know he's a little kid and may be capable of greatness one day but for now I am not being a pussy and hoping I can live up to his potential.
