Okay I watched another two episodes. I was a bit worried that they were forcing incidents into young Sheldon's life, to match his later obsessions. I'm taking this as a stand alone series, because I can't remember what Sheldon said about his home life(apart from a sort of 'god fearing Texan hell'). Also memories are fluid and subjective.
Young Sheldon pretty much runs the family, and sorts out their finances and taxes. His mother merely 'manages' him.
He also showed that when need be he could over ride his anxieties by mental control. After chocking on a sausage he refuses solid food for six weeks until a candy stick tempts him. He also points out that tv programmes are only of value if you feel like you're learning something. I think that was part of the success of early BB seasons. Even if it's just learning about relationships, interactions, or sending me off to research some obscure scientist or philosopher or theory.
In the last ep I watched, Sheldon becomes the most popular person in his school and home, after they all discover his maths abilities based on statistical analysis can greatly improve their lives. Nice cameo from Ray Liotta.
