[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 12 and 14yo boys are registered for some sports camps and clinics this summer. We have a few vacations planned. If I let them be, they would be on screens ALL day. I have gotten them a stack of books from various summer reading lists. Would you force tweens/teens to read and do some summer work? This feels so painful to do. I have probably asked my 14yo to read a book at least 10x in the past 2 weeks and he has read zero. My 12 yo still listens to me a little and I have been able to kick him off screens and he has read one book this summer.[/quote] I hear you…. You posted exactly my issue. DS does not want to read or picks up books that he read on the 2nd grade. Just to get a check mark that he read for the day. It’s painful. I have to adjust expectations and just let him be. Else, the household has turned into power struggles filled with negative energy. [/quote] Can he read well??[/quote]
