[QUOTE="grodog, post: 4539823, member: 1613"] I'd do a game for just him, that way it's at his speed, and the other players aren't irked if you have to slow down for your son. My son Ethan is 4 1/2 and since he was 3 he's been interested in painting minis (I have some old Citadel/GW plastic figures he paints), the dice, the maps, and the game (but in only in concept/theory---his attention span doesn't really hold out for long). As a way to have a little bit more engagement, and some structured remembering to improve the next time, we've "played" some of the Endless Quest books: we map them out as we explore, and he makes the choices (good or ill) as we play. We probably started that when he was ~3 1/2 or so, but we haven't played an EQ book in awhile, since even that was a bit too much for Ethan's attention span, so mostly we paint minis together every 4-8 weeks.
