DS4.5 likes playing Minecraft on the Kindle. He likes watching Spongebob.

Everything else in the entire world is totally lame. That's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's how I feel a lot.

He's good when he plays with friends, but he's not great at playing alone and everything I come up with is maybe fun for 2 minutes. I've got more than 300 things pinned on pinterest and it seems like none of them will work on him.

Anyone else with a kid like this?

I feel like part of it is related to perfectionism. For example, we had markers and crayons out yesterday and I was all, "Can you draw a creeper?" and he was excited for a second, until he realized he wouldn't be able to do a good job, then said, "You do it mom." and wouldn't even try.

I might try 10 different things to spark some interest and only one of them gets a marginal glance. But when he's into one thing, he'll back off if I try to help him go further.

I recently read about project-based learning and I'm going to do my best to find things that relate to the interests he *does* have, but sometimes I'm just at a loss.
I think part of it
