What if there are benefits to keeping your son busy?
Children and teens are spending more time in front of screens than ever before, and their mental and physical health is suffering for it. But instead of focusing on getting your son away from the screen, what about trying to keep him so busy he doesn’t have time for his phone or TV?
It may take lots of trial and error to find what your son likes. Some unique ideas include joining a robotics club, volunteering at a local radio station, helping at a horse stable, or even coaching a little league baseball team.
When your son does find what he enjoys, encourage him to pursue that with excellence. When it’s the right activity, busy is not always bad.
