[quote=Anonymous]We read to DS since he was a few months old. I use the same language with him that I do with my husband. I try and answer his questions when he asks them. Sometimes the answer is “I don’t know, let’s look it up.” My DH loves playing memory games with DS in the car. We have work books at home that he asks to do. We do actually have him do a work book during the summer, a few pages a day, before he can play games. We do limit screen time, no video games during the week and select shows or videos on TV. Right now he is watching Marble Olympic videos on YouTube and has been narrating his own videos on the morble runs he is building in the basement.

We make sure he is playing sports and involved in other activities. Right now he is loving Cub Scouts. Physical activity is just as important as mental activity. And we play a lot of board games (Ticket to Ride, Forbidden Desert, Forbidden Island, Sushi Go, King of Tokyo that type of thing.

Mostly we follow his lead and supplement what he is interested in. [/quote]
