It's kind of fun for me to see my DH lose all the time--he's really good at everything! wink

Your son can learn from computer programs and apps--there are a lot. A club is better, though.

The problem is he really NEEDS to learn to lose and not be BEST at things. I am thinking I will have to find someone else to teach/play with him but I am going to look into computer stuff too. I am thinking a big brother/sister thing for gifted kids would be good - kids in their last years of high school paired with lower primary. I think I will talk to some people about something like that.
