[QUOTE="klmno, post: 185867, member: 3699"] Wow- all this info is great! I feel well- informed now to have a good discussion or two while we're on vacation. Thank every one of you! I think I can help difficult child feel comfortable with what he wants to do now -but still prepare him for the attitudes of some he might face at this age. We have been talking lately about finding a balance between doing things that are "cool" and accepted among peers and still having one's own tastes and individuality. Like music- he can have some cd's that most kids his age like, but if he likes some artists that other kids don't appreciate, he should still listen to them, too. It's important to not get so consumed by pleasing others or being accepted by them that we lose the opportunity to enjoy the things we like or want to do, even if they aren't the most popular. I think this can lead into the subject of knitting. Of course, chances are that once I think this is resolved, he'll lose interest. LOL!! But, you never know what they might get back into later and maybe he can get something from this talk whether or not the issue is knitting. [/QUOTE]
