[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] DS is 8-years old and a strong reader. He loves the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. Unfortunately, his attitude towards school and his classmates seems to have nosedived since he started reading these books. He parrots phrases from the books, like “Everyone in my school is a moron except me.” He may just be experimenting with different phrases and testing limits, but it is still disturbing. The main character is a pretty nasty, self-centered kid. The series seems targeted towards older kids, as it’s about a seventh grader. DH thinks as long as DS is reading and enjoying it, we should leave him alone. I think the books are proving to be a negative influence. Would you let your eight-year-old read these books?[/quote] So... deal with his crappy attitude. [/quote] Suggestions? How do you deal with a crappy attitude in an eight-year old? [/quote] Please share. We are going through the same thing. Child does not like toys much, only likes books and electronics. We've taken away electronics and who knows when we'll allow it again. Loves his books and we have taken those but it feels wrong to take books. Have taken activities but child needs exercise... not much left...[/quote]
