my ds and I have a talk before he goes to bed. I'll talk to him about this and see what his impression of this is and how he feels.
Your thoughts have really helped.
Last winter a boy 3yrs younger beat him at a one day chess tornament. My ds handled it very well, which I was impressed with. He seems to do great with competion unless something seems unfair.
This is probally more than you wanted to know. This site helps me think things thru. Thanks.
Social goes from good to not so good, then good again. Sometimes the neighbors kids have been fed up with him. I'm hoping he has learned from that. Sometimes he leaves himself out because he is sensitive to cheating or ruffness. Right now, it seems pretty good. He good at sports so that helps a lot. Kids are interested in being with him. He is an idea guy and get kids to go along. There is much potential socially. it's a slow process for him. He says he is better at remember stuff than other peoples feelings. He can be very driven and intense.
