Nerd does not imply intelligence, just lack of social skills. Please don't raise people to have low social skills.
I'd be careful with the use of "social skills"... more often then not its a sociocentric platitude used to justify government indoctrination. Social health should be viewed through the lens of a child's individual temperament. This is where the non-aggression principle applies to parenting... if your kid is an introvert don't force them to be an extrovert
