If you have a sim let him try that and make a game of it. My son is 4 1/2 and loves to see how many circles or figure 8's he can do. I showed him what to use to make the plane go in a circle and not crash and it took him a while to get it, but now he can do it without problem. I just make sure he is having fun at all times because if you make it not fun for them they don't want anything to do with it.
