[b]None of their friends are within walking distance so when they do get together, I think it just feels too formal or structured and they feel pressured to entertain/figure out what to do for a certain number of hours. When I was their age, my friends and I could just walk or ride bikes to each other's houses. It was usually spontaneous and we would just go home whenever we ran out of stuff to do. we didn't have the pressure of keeping each other entertained until someone's mom picked them up. We didn't usually schedule sleepovers. We would just ask our parents if we could whenever we were still having too much fun to let it end.[/b]

I think you are too hung up on this part. Seeing as you don't live in a walkable neighborhood, they are going to need to structure stuff. And it can still be structured and spontaneous. [/quote]

It's not that I'm hung up on the unstructured/independent activities. I just don't need suggestions for the other stuff. We do plenty of outings during the week and our weekends are very full. I just need suggestions for their downtime. I can't take them to do stuff 24/7![/quote]
