[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here again.

Great advice pps who suggested starting from scratch and the potent up being in the house and not really funneling that energy. I think you're both spot on. Thanks.

To the pp about only playing with toys. I agree, but again, is not like we permit him. I never thought he'd take down the figurine to play or look at it. He said it broke when he was putting it back.

The laptop was just sitting there, he never uses it, doesn't even know the password. I walked by and several letters were off the keyboard, charge, I think was involuntary. Twisted off the part you plug in to iPad.

Thanks for advice. [/quote]

He's trying to figure things out. My husband was like that as a kid - drove my MIL nuts until he started to fix things for her at age 11. LOL. Now? He's freaking Macguyver!

My nephew is JUST like your son! Turn your back and he's sprayed air freshener in his face by mistake (wanted to see how it came out of the can), conducted experiments in the sink with expensive shampoos and body lotions, etc. He accidentally breaks things too. On the plus side, he's absolutely hilarious, so that helps.

Get him toys like Snap Circuits. Give him already broken items he can take apart to see how they were put together. If you know how to upgrade a PC, let him help you. Get videos like Bill Nye The Science Guy and Myth Busters. He wants to know stuff! Let him.
