Please do not use your cis-normative assumptions to gender-define your child.

Your kid isn't that smart. This is not remarkable. Congrats on the sex though.

Teach him how to code
We started doing coding games with my youngest at 1.5 with Robot Turtle and cubetto. She loved it.

Generic advice without making any judgment on whether your kid is actually all that intelligent:
Just engage with the kid. Talk to them; read to them; play games with them, expose them to people who speak different languages, etc.
The mistake people make with the highly intelligent is thinking their brains need "exercise" or some such nonsense. They don't. Their brains need information. At that age, they are creating knew neural pathways at a rate staggeringly higher than at any other time in their lives. The more information they have to play with, whether words or data or simply experiences, the more complex and robust those neural pathways will be.
TL;DR Allow your child as much and as varied human interaction as you can get them, and keep them away from Baby Einstein and Paw Patrol alike. Your kid would probably learn more by spending time with my Honduran maid than any class or course you try to put them in at that age.

Read to him a bunch. Like every night if you can. Have him play an instrument. Make sure he gets a lot of exercise. Now is the time to start developing sensorimotor ability that he won't be able to develop as an adult.
I highly recommend getting him a toddler piano, or even a keyboard. Let him play with the sounds, and when's able to get lessons, start with the lessons. Get him tutors for languages when he's old enough, around 5. Make sure his nutrition is good too.

Kid in my daughter’s 4 year old program is reading the first Harry Potter book. It’s bizarre

Is this your kid?
P.S. Get your kid a TD login and let him post here. The collective IQ could stand to be raised a few points.

We put our in a Chinese Montessori school, he was fluent in Mandarin at 5 and now pretty fluent in Spanish as well at 6.

Teach him 500 more words.
Other kids will catch up. Yours developed quicker.
Congrats.

I wouldn’t push too hard too fast. Challenge him of course, but don’t get to the point where you’re breaking his confidence

Find another “smart” toddler and breed them. There’s too many dummies already. Your kid could change the world

Sell him to the Royals in Doha. Profit.

Sounds like my granddaughter.
If the kids intelligent you don't have to do much. They'll chart their own course. They'll push you,...

Poor kid.

Yeah let him eat dirt and play with rolly polies like any other kid. If there's something exceptional about him it will happen at some point.
