[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 333992, member: 6546"] K-- What you describe is an all-to-common problem for kids. I've been trying to use real-life examples of "nerds" who went on to great things in life that the "cool" kids will never get to do... Weird Al is a great example. My kids are fans of his music and videos, too ("White and Nerdy" is one of their favorites...). So I asked them what they thought Al was like in school... Think about that. Skinny, gawky kid with frizzy hair and glasses. Smart. And of all things, his parents made him take [I]accordian[/I] lessons. Talk about a loser!! And yet, it is those very qualities that have made him a super-star. If he had made efforts to fit in with the cool kids...you probably would have never heard of him. See what your son thinks about that... Might be worth a try. --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
