[quote=Anonymous]Teen is broad… 13 or 16? My kids (12 and 15) do scouts. It’s one of the few things we make them do. 13 cans still join scouts, but by 15, it’s a bit late to start. Scouts is good for kids that aren’t athletic or musical or some other special interest. We also force at least one rec sport for the older one, but encourage each season. And the younger one we keep in rec sports year round. I give them options. This was winter sports: swimming, 10 minutes away, 3 times a week. Wrestling, 15 minutes away, 3 times a week. Indoor soccer, twice a week, 30 minutes away. Basketball, twice a week, 20 minutes away. They both picked indoor soccer. It gave them some control. But it forced them to be active. They always know at least 1-2 kids on the teams. We tried so many different things when they were younger so at least they have been exposed to a lot. Funny thing, I was looking at a friends post to me[/quote]
