Tagged: Bored, Engage, Homeschool
Hi! I have a 6th grade boy homeschooler. We live rually so when he is done with school and any sport activities he can get very bored. What can I do? He already spends WAY to much time on Computers of all kinds. This includes gaming. Need other things to engage him with.
read!!!!!!
HI Everyone! Not sure how to respond individually, however thank you for all the replies Yes, we read but he hates it. We read with an audio reader and it’s better. We just finished A Wrinkle In Time in time for the movie as a treat for finishing. We do play board games as a family but board games are expensive,and I’ve gotten jilted on used games. He love Monopoly and beats us every time. But it’s such a long game. As to art, yes he likes it but IF it’s on the computer.
Please let me know if there’s a way to respond individually. Not so great at this. lol
Family game nite..even help cleaning up but talking is good for us
Is he interested in anything artistic, like drawing, music, etc.?
Does he have a pet? Or animals he is responsible for?
Play music, dance, cook, make chores fun.
More outdoor activities: nature scavenger hunt, outdoor walks (with you, maybe) and a flashlight, build a fort
First you should identify her interests. Then try to concentrate her more towards that.
Play music
maybe music but also video games like guitar hero that can then be transferred into real life. or sports in wii
Maybe he just hasn’t read anything he’s liked yet. I know I have to be really into a book to appreciate it. How about volunteer work? I really do think that helps build character. I don’t know how that works with his age in an actual place of business, but maybe you two can do something together. Clean up a park, offer to walk a neighbor’s dog while they’re working, go through clothes and donate to a worthy cause. Anything! It might make him appreciate what he has more. 🙂 Good luck!
I think the thing with kids is to still try and push them to stay active because in all honestly no one needs to be spending time on their electronics instead of just being. playing outside, reading books, collecting things, volunteering, going to a youth center to be around kids the same age, getting into music or insturments are all awesome things kids can do
Amazing information thank you all
something musical or athletic
yes
It is hard with kiddos that age. Maybe help him explore new interest or hobbies? My Hubs and Son race and build RC cars. My daughter likes to scrapbook. I freebie hunt/coupon.
Its so hard sometimes.. especially with the colder weather
try to engage him with chores…this way he could help at home…or some cooking or arts?
dance , walk outside , board games
walk outside, bike games pretend games
my child is bored in the house am play with my kids
We started a new routine we do chores for a bit then earning a hour of tv electronics then there is another chore and then another hour of tv time or electronic, afteroons for physical fitness outside depending on the weather and then evening chores and family time after dinner so we all watch tv by bed time it’s reading it has really helped change the I’m bored tantrums as everyone is to busy doing things that have to be done.
suggession activities stem activities
So many great ideas
my son bored in the house
good hints, desperate to read this during our lock down
