It's tough, doesn't seem like a right or wrong thing to say. DS5 has always LOVED board games and I find when I bring up board games people ask "oh what does he like to play?" I then am unsure how to answer as all the games we really play are adult games. I try to find a few that are more kid oriented....checkers, yahtzee...as it would be awkward to say things like "scrabble, blokus, set, mastermind, equate" Especially awkward to talk about how he often almost beats me. I just avoid saying anything most of the time. Unless I am with friends because they know all about him and know it is just how he is and it is not a competition. I try to avoid being around people that compare children...it really irks me.
