Nos usre if this is the right place to put this.
I have always had problems with my ds1 behaviour. he has toys but doesnt really play with thiem.. they are used as missiles more than anything else. He loves playing on the Wii, changing characters, changing names etc.. ofr example he set up lots of new shracters calleing them all by his name, and others cbeebies. he then changed all the characters on there apart from him and his dad..(who is currently away for a long time).
he will put himself on the pc if I am out for the room, log on and enter the inteternet putting hi,mself onto cbeebies, and navigating round himself and oplaying games.. he has opened new files in desltop and labelled them then stored them. He can open thngs i didnt even know excisted.
At nursery the first place he will go is the pc and he would sit on there all morning quite happily playing on the cbeebies and other learning sites.. oobviously heisrestricted to the amount of time he is allowed to spend ont hem.
The other day i was out of the room starting tea and a friend had come onto msn messengerr.. DS1 started tyoing to her.. his name, then cbeebies, then he had put http.faebook.com!!!! this astounded me as at the time no web page was open and the fact that he had remembered theat http.. goes at the feont of a web address.
I approached school today and asked them about his playing habbots at school, as his toy boxes at home are rarely touched.. *they are all inthe toy room which is an open plan room of the front room. They informed me that he does get very bored witht he toys.. will play cars and trains but not for long.. He loves the pklaydough and goo, loves doign lace up things but his favourinte is the computer and they quite often have to phone the main school for someone to come over and look at the pc as scott will do something to it that no one has a clue how to get rid of, or what he has done!!.. they labelled him to nme as a technology whizz kid.. I have thought that maybe his toys are not appropriate for him and he is bored hence why he is so disruptive at ome. i rarely get 5 mins without him doing something wrong unless he is on the pc or the wii, which I obviously dont let him have all the time.
I mentioned to them about getting a ny first laptop anf they said no.. I would get him one for 7-11age group!!.. my friend tried him with her daughters which is a 5-7one and he got bored very quickly.
This moring also he picked up a book I am reading and said look mammy, that is William name.. and it is the name of the author.. he insisted on taking theb ook to school and showing William and the teachers. he can spot his name and his brothers name on the telly. And knows my name and the word daddy. This I assume is normal for his age group.. but cant rememberr dd doing it this early. I really am not one of these mothers that is my child can do this etc.. as I do get embaressed and hat e that people think I am bigging my kids up.. I do believe everychild has a gift of somesort in them.. do you think technology could be my ds1...!!!!
other children in the class and the year\ above canbearly get onto a web sight with out the help of an adult. But he seems to have an extreemly good memory for things ike this.
Sorry for waughling..
what would you do to encourage him.. I am desperate to try anything that will help him and his behaviour.. whichI awill not go into but I am sure he is a very bored frustrated little boy.. he is 4yrs old.. was four last week..
i really dont know how much omore of his behaviour I can cope with as I am on my own with the three children alot in the last 22months I am lucky if my husband has been hime fore 10months in totsl.. sdo am eager to know which toys etc..I am going to have revamo his collection into mire tactile things.. instead of figures and instrumnets..
Sorry about rambling I hope I have made sense...
