[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 120727, member: 1991"] OH YEAH! That's difficult child 3 as well as difficult child 1. "It's a hot day, let's go to the beach!" Nope. They're gaming. Although to be fair, I can generally get difficult child 3 to come with me these days. difficult child 3's Nintendo DS lives in his pocket. If we're away from home, the DS use is constant. All through New Zealand, when driving through spectacular scenery, difficult child 3 was playing with his DS. Driving past steam vents - playing DS, head down, not looking. Driving up the side of Mt Ruapehu (fortunately not erupting at the time) - head down, playing his DS. Driving through amazing glacial formations on the way to Milford Sound - playing his DS. We DID manage to make him pay attention for about half the Milford Sound boat trip, but then - it IS amazing there. And we let him use the camera. We just accept it. Nothing else we can do, and it DOES calm him to know he has access to it. Marg [/QUOTE]
