[quote=Anonymous]My nephew is similar. He played video games sometimes and liked them, but also had very diverse interests. I remember one day when he came home and told his parents something along the lines of — he was so glad they encouraged him to have interests other than video games because the other boys at school exclusively talked about video games and had no idea how to continue a conversation if he tried to discuss another topic (to be clear, he also liked talking about video games but not all the time). It validated their deliberate efforts to encourage him to be well rounded. He accepted that there were some social things that only his school friends could provide and some intellectual things that only his parents/family could provide. He was fine with that. He is now in college and that’s where he found way more like minded people and is very happy). [/quote]
