[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband grew up really poor in rural MO and he wishes he had something (anything!) to do during the summers. Our kids went to rec camps when younger and now as teens, will work some and hit the pool and do nothing. I’m all for it. [/quote] What all your parents don’t seem to be getting is kids don’t “do nothing.” if they don’t have enough activity to keep them productively busy, they will get into trouble or see things online they shouldn’t or pick up bad habits. It’s human nature. If you don’t have a daily motivation to be productive in someway, you will go astray.[/quote] That is so not true, its a generalization. Not all kids/teens will be up to no good if not kept busy. Also, just because a kids doesn't go to summer camp or is in a million activities doesn't mean they can't have a good summer or have fun. The only way this line of thinking might make sense is if they have no access to other kids all summer [/quote]
