[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS6 has been spending at least an hour daily learning the name of countries in all continents, capitals, flag, and some trivia questions (e.g, which country create that, has the tallest mountain, has what animal etc). He just browses youtube daily for videos like that. He looks at the world map daily, and he does not have any specific goal why he does that. He just wants to memorize those factual facts. He is a visual learner.

I graduated college with a minor in GIS, and has some strong background in geography & geology. And, DH is good in US history, and I have some knowledge in world history/Greek mythology/art history. Is there anything that I or DH know can pass down something that is related that could be interesting to young kid? Unfortunately, I am not a good storyteller or teacher. He tells me that he wants to learn more about other countries, but he cannot tell me why and what he wants to find out. It is interesting that he is a strong reader, but he hates to read books. He has asked me if I can get him some apps or games related to the world for quiz or more knowledge. Any online subscription/website/program/suggestions will be helpful.

You have a wonderful child !

I do not have any suggestions other than to test his interest in learning a foreign language as this might help in any future career related to his current interest in countries.

The world domination game of Risk ! might be of interest to your son.[/quote]
