Hints for parents of 13 year old student pilot?

Best of luck to you and Mary as you try and figure out the way to pursue
this whole thing. One thing your son has going for him is that when ATC
calls out traffic, he'll know *exactly* what to look for.

Yeah, but he'll be expecting a quarter every time he spots traffic! :-)

(We've been paying both of our kids 25 cents for every plane they can spot
before we do, since they were toddlers. Those young eyes can really SEE.
Of course, we have turn them "off" when we're flying into Oshkosh Airventure
or Sun N Fun, or we'd go broke!)

Sure, just tell him the proper radio phraseology is "Roger approach, Piper
xyz has that traffic in sight, expect standard fee" then see what happens.
:-)

When he takes you or Mary along as a pax, see if the table is now turned and
you can start earning those quarters back.
