[QUOTE="linusb, post: 384655, member: 30348"] Sounds to me like he isn't really that interested in riding a dirt bike, and that he hasn't really found what he is interested in. I know I would whine to my mom a lot about being bored when I was a kid. I don't know why kids do that, but I was a bit spoiled too. I'm sure he knows he isn't too good at riding the dirt bike and telling him he sucks won't help. He portrays himself to be McGrath-like because he hopes to impress you, something he may think he is not able to do, because either: a) He just isn't that interested in riding b) He thinks he doesn't have the talent. He probably wants to portray the dirtbiking image (with the flashy helmet and fast bike) because it is cool. My advice is to discipline him how you see fit when he becomes whiney. It sounds like he is trying to explore different interests and eventually will find something that he really likes. Support any new interests but I wouldn't buy him the best equipment right off the bat. Part of the excitement of a hobby or recreational activity is the anticipation of getting something better than what you have now. If you start with the best, it's hard to get excited about anything else. [/QUOTE]
