[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 16yo rising junior does not have a summer job. He's going to a week of space camp, a week of Scouts camp canoeing in Minnesota, a week of family vacation, and then starts his fall sport practice on July 31. In between time will be hanging with his friends or working on his Eagle project. DCUM seems to think all teens should have a summer job by age 14.[/quote] Good for him. Mine doesn't have one and will be doing absolutely nothing. [/quote] +1 I let my kids lounge all summer. They were burnt out on camps and no longer had an interest in attending. I took a work from home job (pre-pandemic) and decided to let them have a 1980s summers. They can get a job when they want a job, but I don't push it. They have the rest of their lives to work and study. I let them sleep in, camp out, ride bikes all over, and watch too much tv. They get plenty of activity and have learned to self regulate. [/quote]
