[quote=Anonymous]I’d have him help you make dinner. You can go over recipes. It could be a nice bonding time and he’d learn a practical skill. Otherwise, what does he gravitate to? A neighbor’s son is very into origami. He looks up these crazy designs on youtube and figures out how to do them. A family friend’s son finger knits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsZsUBYU0qU He has ADHD and it helps him fidget constructively. There’s arm knitting too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GUEfWHDswY You can make keychains and such from paracord: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgdyJIghXTo These can build fine motor skills and can be done pretty much anywhere. I’d consider taking him to a mini-maker faire or drop in for a session here: http://kid-museum.org He might fall in love with something. [/quote]
