[quote=Anonymous]I have a 16 yo son. I would treat him like a guest meaning I wouldn’t ask him to do chores or limit sceentime. Teens don’t always appreciate your best laid plans so offer him a choice of activities or ask his parents for ideas. For example mine hates the pool and would feel miserable and self-conscious if forced to go. He wouldn’t be being rude. He has a disability that made it hard for him to learn how to swim as a child and now avoids the pool out of embarassment. Some things mine would enjoy doing are taking in a DC United game, a Nats game or taking younger cousins to the soccer field to give them a few pointers. Also, boys this age can feel very awkward and shy around adults so make him feel welcome but don’t force togetherness or take it personally if he retreats. [/quote]
