[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 448149, member: 3444"] Staaaaaar. :rofl: Keista, the researching bit is TOO much for him if it's not something he's got a burning passion about. His eyes will glaze over and he simply cannot attend to much that he doesn't have interest in (and let's just say some of those things he WOULD love to reserach online are not appropriate around kids). Don't know if that's his ADHD or if it's part of the bipolar. But I DO think the game idea could work if I can find the right one. I mentioned the Spider Solitaire. He's also hooked on Angry Birds on his phone (spent far more time playing this on our Canada trip when he wasn't driving than enjoying the scenery or talking to me). I'm just afraid of substituting on problem for another, Know what I mean?? I really wish I could get him to acknowledge these behaviors and take them to the psychiatrist to address. Getting him back to work on Monday will help -- there's structure and a very long day of problem-solving which is what he does well and enjoys best. So just have to get through today! :winks: Maybe we need to play a family game today, especially since difficult child 1 leaves for a 6-day camp on Tuesday. [/QUOTE]
