Never press him, if after some time he shows other interests, or just less interest in chess, allow it to happen.
To be honest, he is more eager to learn that I am to eager to teach.... he can be exhausting at times hahaha....at the moment in time, I think that I am the one feeling pushed to teach him... but thanks for the tip.... its important for me that he enjoys what he is doing, so I wont force him to play if he is not interested, but because I play myself, I think he wants to "be like daddy" and joins in
based on my experience ,if chess is properly taught to kids(not just pushing woods) and there are kids or tournaments that they can compete on, majority of them won't lose interest at chess. Other hobbies might interest them, but they won't lose interest at chess.
