[quote=Anonymous]I struggle with this with one of my kids- but he is also not very creative so when he says he just wants to relax , he will read and then ask to watch screens or play video games (screens are limited to an hour a day, maybe 2 if he has a new video games). So it’s an issue. I want him to have SOMETHING he enjoys in terms of sports or activities because I do not want to have a middle schooler or a high schooler on my hands with no extra curriculars. In my experience, that’s where true deeper friendships develop and I think a 15 year old with nothing to do from 225pm- midnight is going to find something to do that isn’t ideal. This child finally found a desire to play golf, which is more individual and therefore more up his alley. He is pretty good and has asked to join a youth golf league. So I’m glad I kept pushing him to think outside the box for something he might want to try (no one in my family golfs)[/quote]
