[quote=Anonymous]Life skills. Ask them to choose a few recipes they would like to shop for to make family dinner. Cook together if they need help, but let them lead. Also let them select a dinner out. They book the table. The entire family has great night out screen free. Yup, parents too. Wash their own clothes and change their bedding on the two Sundays that fall in the 10 day window. Book a personal trainer on M, W, and F to help them get some strength training going. Let them go solo, just drop off. Make sure you meet the trainer in advance to know that it is someone who is fun and a great influence on a young kid. This is money well spent. Driver’s ed? This is an awesome window to set them up for the next few years. And let them know you don’t mind them actually enjoying a little holiday from school, and screen time isn’t a big deal. As long as the take care of a few responsibilities first. They have aged out of entertainment as a time passer. [/quote]
