[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 50021, member: 1835"] PS My son also has always gotten totally consumed by whatever new interest has caught his attention including skateboarding. In his case, he couldn't be satisfied by JUST the skateboard (football, hockey stick, etc.) but simply HAD to be outfitted in all the "necessary" clothing and gear as well. We went along with all of it in the hopes of keeping him motivated to continue with whatever his interest happened to be at the time. Sadly, although he was always very good at whatever that was, he would always get distracted by his peers and then give up when they, who were paying attention to instructions, would eventually pass him by. As his football coach told us when he took up THAT sport in high school, (referring to huddle time when the players would be focused on the coach to review strategies, and our son would be chatting and socializing with anyone who would listen...) "G could be a good football player if I ever saw anything of him besides the back of his helmet." [/QUOTE]
