[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is just sad that 11 year old cannot think of what else to do with each other. Well the rain isn't helping at all. But still. Most of the kids who come over do not play board games. I don't get this. We play board games as a family - Cataan, Ticket to Ride, etc - but I guess others do not? So the answer to "play a board game" is: "Larlo doesn't play board games." It is not out of control as my 11 year old doesn't do too many sleepovers either. But so sad that they do not know how to interact with each other without the device. [/quote]

My 10yr old can think of a million things to do. He's not into playing video games for hours on end and prefers basketball,  capture the flag, Nerf wars, biking, skateboarding, ect....the problem is MOST kids are not like him. They can find exactly what they want to do and it is to remain motionless in front of a screen for hours and hours and hours.

Going to have to sign him up for summer camps because most of the neighborhood kids with a parent at home will allow the kids to be like zombies sitting in the basement glued to the video games. It's sad and it sucks for kids like mine who enjoy expending energy. Wish we could find more like minded kids because I'm sure they are out there.[/quote]
