[QUOTE="Janna, post: 247209, member: 2737"] Surprisingly, with no explination, D does incredibly well with board games. Some of his favorites: Yahtzee (helps with math) Sorry (and Sorry Sliders, he LOVES the little balls on the bottom, they slide around, it's cool) Electronic Battleship (need patience for this one it's a long game LOL) Monopoly (works with money - and not the bank card one...LOL) Scrabble (helps with spelling and word recognition) I know some of these games seem very adult. With the Scrabble, for instance, he can't get the concept of how the tiles are supposed to align. LOL! But, he gets the words, so that's my focus. We work on the alignment every time, but I dunno if he gets it. I try to steer away from baby type games (Chutes and Ladders, Candy Land, Hungry Hippo, etc) just because they're not age appropriate. They may help with YOUR particular issue, though? Sometimes just grabbing a coloring book and crayons and making them do the whole page and stay in the lines is enough for impulse control. That may be a good idea for your difficult child. It takes more patience to do that (and staying in the lines!!!!!!!!!!) than a board game LOL! Cards are good too. Dollar Store has great card games for a buck. Old Maid, Crazy Eights, etc. [/QUOTE]
