[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like many of these posters have girls. Not to generalize, but my 12 year old boys are very difficult to get to do art/craft activities on their own anymore (which make me sad since they were so into it when they were little). I find it really hard for them to keep busy besides screens. There's lots of wandering around the house, largely saying there's nothing to do. Reading is the only reliable thing I've seen that will fill time inside. [/quote] My 13 year old is similar. His go-to are video games and watching stuff on his iPad. He is more than happy to do something else like play a board game, play with nerf guns, or do push ups and things...but he seems incapable of doing things alone. He has always been that way, since the day he was born. He's game for just about anything, but it has to be social. If it isn't social its not worth doing. Sigh.[/quote]
