[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 14 year old son has one one-hour after school activity and that's it. There's no activity he shows any interest in. He's not into sports (has tried quite a few but hasn't had the aptitude), he's tried various musical instruments but gave up after a couple years. He's a good student, reads a lot, is on his phone a lot and that's about it. I know he's bored quite a bit of the time. Anyone else in this situation? Or have ideas on how I can encourage him to do more/ how to find something he might actually like? [/quote]

Reading is an activity. This sounds fine to me. It’s what I like to do, and it’s what I liked to do when I was a kid, and I’m doing okay!

Is he interested in art at all? Maybe he’d like a digital art class?[/quote]

He's not interested in anything! That's what I find tough to figure out. [/quote]

Well then, pick for him.  If he doesn’t like what you pick, he best think of something himself really quickly.

As far as exercise, non team sport things—fencing, marital arts, climbing, personal trainer [/quote]
