Boys will be boys but what do you realize or notice when reading this?
So, I understand the saying as far as boys will be boys.
But I am curious as far as what do you think about this situation.
So during Spring Break my nephew that is 5 years old was given work to do from the school. He was learning about adding, subtracting, and the planet Neptune so I had a great idea for the boy and I to paint different boxes as different planets to form a game where you toss rings made from paper towels inside to gain certain points. Similar to Sonic the Hedge Hog. We also put rocks in the freezer to see which is colder, a rock or an ice cube.
His uncle said that I came off as forceful (pushy) with my activities on the little boy. Just that I recall the little boy watching obstacle courses of hamsters to see which hamster will win. Since all I see that the boy has been doing when he has no work to do is watching YouTube videos, playing videogames, or the same old wrestling in the pool. I don't even think his uncle even witnesses the things his nephew watch on youtube to ask if he would like to try something like that out. All I see and notice is the boy playing videogames that is already installed online. He would come to me various of times showing me the game he is playing and I don't recall him once asking his mom or uncle can he go outside to play with other children when his mom introduced me to people living near her with children themselves his own age. Just last week his uncle told me that my nephew was in the pool playing with another boy. Thank goodness! Just that what if the other boy's parents don't want their child playing videogames or be on youtube endlessly because it might lead their son to be not as productive or connect with others outside of gaming?
