[quote=Anonymous]You can’t force intellectual curiosity. If she refuses to do a sport, I would make her be active with you on the weekends, hiking, biking, even just long walks. Being active is important for mental and physical health. I would also encourage non-screen time if she’s too focused on social medial and influencers. I would suggest making a chunk of one weekend day screen free. 4-5 hours. Do it out of the house at first so it’s easier. Go to museums, bookstores, exploring a new nearby town, shopping at the mall. The immediate and constant need for screen input is more damaging than a lack of intellectual curiosity. [/quote]
