[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she says she's bored give her some chores to do. [/quote] Chores don't require your kid to interact with other people and build their interpersonal skills. Chores don't teach your kid anything about follow through. Chores don't teach your kid anything about being part of a group. Chores don't teach your kid anything about winning and losing gracefully. Chores don't teach your kid very much about personal achievement or accomplishment. Chores don't set you up for bigger and better things. Kids miss out on a lot by not being involved in any extracurricular activities. There's a lot to learn in adolescence about how to be part of society, and participating in things is part of how you learn. Chores is fine to do, but not a substitute for being involved in the world. [/quote]
