[quote=Anonymous] OP - Middle school is tough so if you can find her one new positive outlet I would encourage you to do so. It could be volunteering, a service group such as Girl Scouts or how about joining a church based youth group that pulls from a range of schools in an area if that is an option. In high school, if she does enjoy volunteering, I would encourage her to join the Key Club, which is the high school version of Kiwanis. In terms of volunteering, some options might be the local Special Olympics sports program as peer buddy for a sport training which usually are only 8-10 sessions. Local groups that can use volunteers her age might be the SPCA or the local Food Bank at times. I would encourage you to also help her do her research for next summer a bit ahead so that she can have an activity for a couple of days a week lined up ahead of time. Your local United Way may well be a source of volunteer options, too. If she really has time on her hands, have you thought of offering her the option of learning a new skill or sport such art lessons, guitar lesson, basic knitting or sewing.[/quote]
