How about a same-age pen pal? Or meeting with famailies local to you? My daughter just started corresponding with a girl in Illinois and is having a real good time with it. She also writes to other girls she has met at camps.

Go with snaps on jeans not buttons its easier Frankie also likes the tight Jeans and at 15 has mastered both types of jeans and so will your son it just takes practice. Mare

my son is ten and has pretty much mastered everything...including unfortunately the tight jeans. Maybe Brandon and David can be e-mail pals.....what grade is he in? Brandon is in 5th grade

If he insists on tight jeans, snaps are probably going to be harder to do. I like to use buttons and to do the buttons, I stick my index finger through the button hole and grab the far side of the button and then push it through with my thumb on the back of the button. Does that make sense? Either way, it takes practice.
Good luck!
