What is the rush to go to parallel skiing anyways?
It's gobs easier on the body.

At least it is on my body.

He just snowplows more on steeper stuff.

I have been trying to explain how he should make turns across the fall line, but he just doesn't understand. I've had even less luck explaining the uphill and downhill edge on the snowboard.

I think you are right, it just should be fun.

Don't explain it - just show him.

Hold on... that might not work so well.

Tell him if he wants to ski a run he has to turn across it. If he won't turn take him back to the green runs.

He is to young to explain anything to him.
