[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can also nudge. There is a time honored parental tradition of nudging your child into doing things he doesn't want to do, but might enjoy once he gets over his initial hesitation and inertia. My parents made us do three activities and if we couldn't find something to do, they would find things for us to do. Tell him it isn't acceptable to just do nothing but watch TV all the time. Give him a list of classes, clubs, activities, etc. and help him brainstorm things that wouldn't be too awful and get him to do some of those.[/quote] And if he is really bored and doesn't like any of your suggestions, tell him the next option is to clean the garage, or his room, or the kitchen floor. His choice.[/quote]
