Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion Party blues

yeah, that is tough. did you stay for the party? I'm curious if he played on the computer the whole time or joined the kids eventually.

I had similar happen with playdates. I'd arrange for a school friend to come play with DS (the kids lived all over the place and traveled to school so playdates were not easy to arrange)and I'd end up finding DS on the computer or going upstairs to play nintendoDS, bored with the kid! That left me to entertain him! I would explain the social rules of entertaining your guest and not being rude but usually the guest and DS's little sister would end up playing a game!
