[QUOTE="Andy, post: 565692, member: 5096"] My difficult child also plays video games on-line. He gets frustrated when other players don't play as he expects them to. Usually because they are new and haven't figured out the game yet, can not understand the tactics, are a lot better than him (collage boys?) or just purposely do nasty plays that seem unfair (like not allowing an opponent to recoup before attacking again). Even though the boys are the same age, they would still have different play styles that can annoy each other. If your difficult child is more advanced in the game, the other boy may not want to play because he is not at that level. These games are frustrating playing against someone who is excellent. I wish I knew how to help. I do know that trying to make the other kid play will make things worse. Your difficult child can find on line kids who will play. The problem is that you will not know them and 13 year olds are too trusting to give out personal info. He should ask other acquaintances if they play.When my difficult child gets frustrated I tell him that the game is too hard and he needs to find a different game.Let me know if you find an answer. I know I can apply it to our situations also. [/QUOTE]
