Haha, your son is smart to wait to ask you questions in the car.<br /><br />Myra, interesting to know that your son was so similar to Kai. That book may make a great holiday gift for Kai so I appreciate the link. I know what you are saying about this being our kids' way of making conversation and not having others share their same interest. I try to keep that in mind and do try to engage with Kai as much as I can. One of our worries is who would our son talk to if we weren't around anymore, but that is a whole 'nother subject now, isn't it?

I wasn't aware of the website but they have books for the different game versions<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Pokemon-Black-Version-White-Official/dp/0307890600/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1319678524&sr=1-5<br /><br />and he would study them religiously and ask us which was our favorite, or who could defeat who, when we knew nothing about Pokemon. He too would get upset when we didn't want to answer his endless questions. We also tried pointing out to him that it was not as interesting to us as it was to him. But I also felt sad for him as it was his way of making conversation and not having others share your same interest must be lonely, especially for an only child.<br /><br />I like the school's suggestion, I hope it works!<br /><br />-myraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4687526100634149438.post-43912847263067838872011-10-26T19:15:22.963-05:002011-10-26T19:15:22.963-05:00I do understand.

Before it was about raw stats of almost anything and ratings of restaurants, video games, and of the differing educational standards throughout the world. <br /><br />What I do now is to tell him to research it on line and to tell us what was said...what he thought about it with the new information he had gotten...and why.<br /><br />His questions slowed...until he waited to ask the questions in the car where no internet was available...hmmm...he is learning how to do an end run. :)Shiroi Torahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05869506932268171410noreply@blogger.com
