I had thought about doing this but I didn't want to miss the time he actually came up with a good idea (or ideas) instead of constant whining but maybe I was giving him to much credit?
I really don't want to ruin his experience, and i wanted to help him understand why something so simply could be a good idea but I'm just getting nowhere... we... are getting nowhere. I'll just stop responding to him that way if he does come up with a good idea I can read it and possibly agree!
