Time for the family.

we must not only try to teach the kids always, some times they love it if we learn from them, specially when they want us to.
be cool, loving, hugging.

I think you're heading into this the wrong way. First off, you should praise your son for telling you the way he feels in such a mature manner.

You don't need to think of anything to do with him, just arrange to spend some time with him and let him choose what to do. If he can think of something beforehand, you can make arrangements or get supplies to do whatever it is. You may even find that he likes recreational sports too and just wants the opprtunity to join in.

I can see that. It would be the same with me if I am interested in what I like and for sure I would spend more time with those who have the same interest like I have. Just explain to your young son about that. I think that he will understand it.

I have 3 sons and 3 daughters. All of us always communicating through e-mail what what ever subject they wanted to raise up to me. Beside having our tangible relationship. I had mention to them this way, a father just like one President to one country. So as a father has many things to be coped up with quality time management and efficiency. If they notice that their father has less time with them, please use internet as a tool of communication. To concentrate on one, others will sulk. So do their expressions through an internet.

In fact I want to know their degree of effable to their expressions. Every action there will be reaction.

I think, as a father like you, we should always try to adjust or adopt to what my children desires particularly if the intention is for the improvement of his/her well-being. It doesn't necessary requires that you also do what he's requiring you but you should at least show some interest in what he's doing. Try to bond with him and assure him that you will always be there for anything that he needs.

Versatility is the word. Our children have varied interests and personalities. As parents, we should know how to deal with these unique characteristics. The best thing we can do maybe is to allow the siblings to compromise halfway. In order to have bonding among all siblings, the other child can try what the other one is doing and vice versa. If it doesn't work, the father has to spend time for both fairly. One should not be left out. If the strategy works with me, am sure it would work with you. I have a son who loves to play games online in his leisure time. My daughter was left out. What I did was to let my daughter watch the games and allowed her to surf games for girls. Now both of them are enjoying playing online games with certain limitations.
