[QUOTE="Alisonlg, post: 36789, member: 2894"] My oldest difficult child can not amuse himself to save his life. If he's used up his video game time he teeters on the verge of meltdown chanting "I'M BORED" while we scramble to redirect him and try to find something he'll be interested in, which is no easy task...because after all...if it's not a video game, he has his mind set on the fact that he doesn't want to do it! :P In fact, just now I was playing Skip Bo with him and he couldn't keep his attention on it long enough to get through the entire game...the phone rang and even though I continued to play the game, he got up and walked away. My youngest difficult child is only 3, so I think he's probably still too young to really self-amuse anyway, but he will rarely occupy himself. Sadly he wants to play with his older brother soooooo badly, but the 8 yr old wants nothing to do with him. [/QUOTE]
