my ds is 8. he has always had a short attention span. recently its getting worse. unless it's time on the computer then he doesn't want to know. Every chance he gets he is asking to play on the computer (playstation2) And when I say no he huffs and puffs and stomps around yelling at everyone. On the occasions I do let him on it (usually weekends only) he seems even worse when his time is up and he has to come off it. He just doesn't seem interested in anything else. I bough him a roboraptor at christmas, which he said he wanted, that cost me £100 and I ended up selling it because he didn't use it at ALL. All he wants for his birthday next month and christmas is a newer computer console and games but I refuse to pay out for another console when I only bought the one we have got last christmas. He won't even sit with us to do family time. If we all sit making things or colouring etc, even watching a dvd together, he refuses to join in. He has just rushed through his homework now and then asked if he could go on the computer and I said no because he didn't do his homework properly. He has now just thumped ds2 in temper. I am ashamed to say that sometimes I just can't stand the boy and his attitude now. What they hell have I done wrong to turn him into such an antisocial little boy??
