[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to teach him to have conversations. Teach him how to ask questions, how to wait for the answer, how to respond to what the person is saying.

Honestly the art of conversation has been dying. I know way too many people who talk but don’t listen or care about what others say. But you have to teach this. [/quote]

Yes. Have him learn to pause. Teach active listening. Encourage engagement with others and help him recognize social cues. Support him in understanding that there are appropriate times to talk and at other times, he must be polite and quiet.

He has an active mind and a vivid imagination! Make sure he has solo time to read, create and I’ll add, be outside. Encourage him to read widely and develop his vocabulary. Keep him challenged.

I worked with school age students for a career; teach him manners and I’ll add, simple politeness. Help him understand that he’s not the center of the universe or a burgeoning child star. I guess keep him humble. Focus on him having lots of social interactions and friendships with kids his age - there’s a tendency sometimes for parents with highly advanced DC to have them “play up” with older kids but this causes him to miss out on learning age-appropriate socialization.

And before I’m heavily criticized, I was this child and my older brother was, too! He’s a university professor!

I’m also a mom of 3DC (all adults now).
