Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion Making up stories

The Grand Canyon thing came up because of a game we were playing and it's just one example of many. He'll often say he did something he didn't.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm certain he knows the difference between truth and fantasy but I think he wants everyone to believe everything he imagines, if that makes sense.

I think I'll stress how we love his imagination more when he tells the stories. We have been telling him that some people will think he's trying to lie when pretending he did things he didn't and he hasn't said much to that. I don't know if he does this at school at all, his teachers haven't said anything.

I think I will just talk about the story with him when he's done. I have been telling him that we should start writing down his stories and turn them into books.
