[quote=Anonymous]I don't know if I would want to leave a 13-year-old alone 10 hours a day for four weeks straight. But if I did, turning off the wifi and cable would be the first requirement. Spending at least two hours a day outside of the house, whether it's on his bike, at the neighborhood pool, or riding the bus to the mall, would be the 2nd. OP, you never mentioned what the 13-year-old thinks would be fun. Also, does he truly have no friends at all in the neighborhood or reachable by public transport? I know, I know, public transportation in the suburbs is really bad. But just because it is too inconvenient to make it a practical option for your daily commute, does not mean that a kid with all the time in the world cannot figure out how to use it. Especially if he has a bike to help bridge that "last mile". Bonus -- a little less chauffeuring for you to do for the next three years. [/quote]
