[quote=Anonymous]I am a teacher with a son the same age and I would describe him the same way. I think 1-2 times a week as you have been doing is a great compromise. I also love going to museums and things by myself so that part doesn't bother me. My thing is that is he is reasonably happy, getting some exercise daily and not on the screens past my limit (2 hours in summer) his summer is free for him to enjoy as he wishes. Reframe it as being proud that they are independent and trustworthy that you feel you can do these things alone! I feel like kids this age are like housecats, the more you try to get their attention and approval the more they shy away. If you let them know you're open and then do your thing they may join more often. [/quote]
