Default Re: how to help a young kid

Sound like me when I was little. My teachers sent home a note to my mom to "buy me a ball". I had to play with said ball in gym class to develop better coordination.

I turned out ambidextrous, and a pretty damn good athlete.

Buy him a ball. Play catch. Play frisbee. Get him a deck of cards and a card trick book.

Def smarter than I was at his age and (I'm told) I tested for IQ of 140-155.

There is a pretty big difference between 140 and 155 IQ, which one are you?

definately don't get him into gaming.
Get him a weight set. He is probably too self conscious to want to lift weights at a gym, so get him a bench, some dumbells, barbell and weights and point him to some websites, or buy him a book on lifting and dieting. Learning how the body can be manipulated is very interesting and complicated stuff... he might like it, and in a couple of years he will be looking much better than he does now.

I really think this is your best option. I wish I'd have started working out and eating well when I was in highschool.

Karate or numbchuck lessons will help him develop self confidence and give him something to talk about with the ladies.

Yeah,

The kid should just about be old enough to join the school band. Band is where geeks can be cool with other geeks.

my bad I didn't read that he was 10.
Get him in some sort of sport tho man. MAybe not a league or anything yet, but at least get him playing something at the park or whatever.
Point is you need to have him doing something physical.
