Zia's mom - I think the problem is that he is the one saying how smart he is and you are the ones saying how great his cousin is in baseball. If his cousin was constantly telling him how great he was in baseball, your DS make get tired of that too. Maybe you could get him to see the difference. The kids at school don't like the kids who brag about how wonderful they are at anything - sports, etc. - not just the ones who brag about being smart. I personally don't care much for the adults that I know that brag about things (and in fact they are talked about by other parents) so it isn't just a problem for children!!! LOL!!!! So maybe you could get him to see that it is the bragging that isn't socially acceptable.
