[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This might doing snarky, but I don't mean it to be - have you told him that you need direct eye contact when he's speaking to you? Sometimes kids get into a habit and they think it's ok, and it takes clear re-direction to inform them it's not. My kids are 7 and 5 and often say "water" when they want water... As if they're still toddlers with single words - I have to really remind them each time that the correct way to ask is "may I please have some water?" I don't think they're being intentionally rude, it's more that they're not being intentional at all. Perhaps your son is like that, too.[/quote] We do tell him to look at us when asking for stuff, or look at a waiter when he is ordering at a restaurant, or whatever. It seems to make him really uncomfortable. But he is very social, talks to anyone, has lots of friends at school ... He isn't socially awkward. [/quote]
