[quote=Anonymous]We struggle with this a ton. Mine basically only wants to be in competitions. So he loves sports, or races or wrestling, but only things that require someone to compete against. It works great if his siblings are available, or we can do a playdate. Without that, he will play LEGOs on his own, he will read (prefers Wings of Fire and Percy Jackson), and then he will (if bored long enough) enact pretend competitions. So he will pretend to be playing soccer/football/ninja warrior with others. He's also in third. I think competitions and fighting are basically the same drive in boys. I try to get him around other kids as much as possible, but also try to remind him that he has to find his own things to do when he's bored.[/quote]
