[QUOTE="MyHrt31, post: 245253, member: 6666"] Thanks for the advice Compassion and ML! I'm trying to get him to read but he says he HATES it. I read to him at night (especially the Judy Blume "Fudge" series) but he doesn't seem to have picked up my love of reading just yet. I will see if he wants to go to the library this week after school to pick out a few books. Maybe this will get him more interested because he'll have his choice of books and when its "quiet time" at night before bed, this will help him to relax. I will definitely see about getting my dad to have a talk with him about gun safety when he's older. I suppose its a good thing his sensory issues have him terrified of them but yet they fascinate him, lol. I hate that the media makes guns look so seductive to children/teens! If I had my way, every single one of those violent games would be burned. It is true that the way his father died makes me even more anxious about his fascination with weapons. I'll just continue to monitor what he plays and hopefully get him involved in reading. Thanks again you guys!! Hugs :) [/QUOTE]
