[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think letting a kid this old have zero activities is the answer. She will wind up depressed and addicted to screens. - mom to a teenager who has seen this trajectory [/quote] I agree with this. If the complaints are about the activities alone, and don't happen at other times, maybe let her know she needs to choose at least one activity to engage in. And then ignore the complaining. Sometimes kids son't see the rewards of the things parents do to enrich their lives until later if life. It sounds extra touch to handle when you're exhausted. [/quote]
