Chill, dude. They all do that at that age.

It gets better.... then it gets a lot worse.

I was that exact same know-it-all kid, I never realized how much it annoyed everyone and liked showing how smart I was at every opportunity. It didn't help when everyone would constantly say how smart I was and basically treat me with kid gloves.

One day when we were probably 8-9 my cousin and I were arguing about something and she WENT OFF on how annoying I was because I always thought I was the smartest person in the room, and it made people dislike me.

It pissed me off at the time but brought it to my attention, and ever since then I've remembered that moment and worked to not be "that guy." This was about 25 years ago and I remember it well.

Long story short, just be blunt and truthful with him. No telling how long I would've gone on annoying and alienating everyone around had she not basically cussed me that day. True story.

Sounds like he’s not enrolled in enough sports. By that I mean he’s trying to be a philosopher when he should be using excess energy in athletics.

Perhaps it’s time for travel ball.

He's digging on golf right now. Which is cool because he may get to skip that whole 'all-star until 14 years old then never get more athletic for the rest of your life' phase that his dad went through.

With enough batting practice and fielding drills he'll be too tired for that nonsense.

You’re overthinking this. Make him feel as uncomfortable as he’d feel in social situations with his peers, while in safe space of his home.

Uhm, you are his parent. Explain to him what he's doing wrong and what he needs to do instead. Your child looks up to you. He will hear you. Most kids just want to please people. Especially their parents.
