1.) Read Nurtured by love by Shinichi Suzuki.
2.) Teach your student how to evaluate sources, and validity of arguments. Introduce him to scientific method.
3.) Practice problem solving in fields he is unfamiliar with.
4.) Make him tutor kids younger than him. At first he will go too fast, but if he works hard, he will develop empathy, patience, and learn about his own learning process. And if he does a good job tutoring, he will learn that people are capable of what he is capable of if they have a good teacher.
5.) Introduce him to Socrates! Make him aware of his ignorance. Nothing is more detrimental to a prodigy than a false belief that *they know something*...If you compare what a prodigy knows and what a "regular person" knows to all the knowledge NO ONE knows yet...the prodigy and the normal person are indistinguishable.
6.) Teach the kid a meditative/artistic activity...music or martial arts or just plain old meditation. Child prodigies often have the same fears or inverse fears of everyone else. Everyone needs to learn to be calm and to be at peace with oneself...to deal with stress, to deal with feelings of hurt etc..etc..etc..
7.) Love the kid with all your heart. (not in some messed up NAMBLA way mind you.)
8.) Make the child supremely happy and have him learn how to share his happiness with others.
