[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. They are now warming up to the idea of continuing with swim team (now that they know a few other kids doing it) so that is at least something! I will strongly encourage them to pick another camp or two. Strangely enough most kids around here who are old enough to stay home no longer do camp. [/quote] They can do one or two camps. You indicated swim team, so that's physical activity. Then set some boundaries: between X and X there will be no screens. You can hang with friends, go to the pool, read, or I will find you something to do. That's what we've always done and will do this year for our 14 yo (by the time summer comes will be 14). We are not having her work yet. But, she's doing workout days for her team, she's doing an online class this summer, and she'll likely go to see friends out of state for a week. That gets us to August and, if she makes the HS sport team, August will be spent in practices FTMP.[/quote]
