Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy Kindergarten and naughty behavior

my son is very mathy and makes up challenges for himself - how many minutes until recess? How many hours until the weekend? If there's X amount of calories in a serving of milk, how many calories is the whole container?. He's currently playing baseball, but gets bored and becomes distracting when there's no action - I'm trying to encourage him to keep track of the outs and/or runs. I play verbal games with him when we're waiting for the doctor or are in the car for a long time. Any sort of fall back, self-serve thing that can be done to keep his brain busy is helpful for everyone, and he's learning to do this for himself
