DS is 12 and an only child. We were in Target this morning to use a gift card and he chose matchbox cars and a Bionicle. When exH heard he blew up (does that quite a bit) and said that DS is still playing with the same toys he's been playing with for years and that's why he doesn't have a lot of friends etc etc....
SO I asked him if he knew which toys were age appropriate and of course the answer is no. I did agree that DS already has tons of cars, so instead he bought a Kinextix kit which is currently driving him crazy (lots of small plastic parts).
So, I'll throw the question out to you all - what do your tweens play with, besides video games? I would like to guide DS into making choices that will challenge him.
thanks -
