Funny you mentioned particle physics. That and random science YouTube videos that no one ever watches besides him. It's hard for him to find topics of conversation. He's a quiet kid.

If only we could get him to talk about anime and sports.



Mine loves random history Youtubes.

All the kids I know watch Mark Rober, maybe that would be a point of connection? It’s part engineering, usually with some physics and electronics built in, and part pranks/cool projects.

In other news, I have the worst crush on Mark Rober. Not that you asked, but I have to tell someone.

super heroes does seem a little young for most boys who are going-into-7th but if your son has other friends who are into them, it doesn't sound problematic.


The Marvel movies aren't kiddie movies.


I don't personally know any 7th graders that haven't seen at least one marvel movie yet!

Sports, anime, youtube, xbox.

No girls or politics or pretty much any deep thoughts - as of yet.
