My seven year old would glaze over somewhere in the first sentence and switch topics to Pokemon.

Your child might be gifted.



To quote the traditional meme on Pokémon: https://9gag.com/gag/534844/serious-pokemon-math

My point being that maybe it's possible to take interest in what the kids like, and use that to teach them something ? With pokémon it could be Statistics, Biology, Storytelling, Programming, etc. Whatever you like :-)


Nobody will remember that nerd, though. Now, your kid...your kid's name will be echoed in the halls of Gym Leaders worldwide.


I did the same to be honest.
