Just wondering if we're getting this right with DS 13. He's increasingly wanting to just chill out at the weekends. He usually has one day where he'll see friends (town, biking, cinema, park etc.) If he's got no plans he comes with me to do a big dog walk while DH is working. The other day is usually spent on screens (TV or xbox) and doing homework although he gets very little. Today he's been on his xbox all day with a break to help DH tidy up the garden and we had lunch together.
We used to fill all our free time as he's an only child so we kept busy with lots of play dates/visiting family/days out but he just doesn't want to do that kind of thing anymore. (We do still visit family of course). I must admit I'm really enjoying the time at home to just relax, catch up on housework, read, paint.
Does this sound about right for this age or should I be encouraging him to get out more?
