Teens summer break

3 replies

all,
Please help! We've a 15 year old boy who's just started his hols this week. (3 months, we're in ireland) I have him signed up for a couple of camps but we can't afford to send him every week to one. He will see his friends but their meet up can be quite sporadic.
I'm already worrying that he's going to spend all his time gaming or glued to a screen and I'm going to have to spend my summer battling this!
I have 6 weeks off myself and we'll go away for a week or two.
Any ideas??
TIA!

At 15 I had a summer job!
I would think it’s fair for teens to have a mix of rest, socialising, family time and work.

Is he sporty? My teens spend a lot of time in the gym each summer. They don't have much free time to go in term time. Or swimming, bike rides etc.

Maybe I can try and encourage him to join the gym. Doubt he'd go on his own though. I'd love for him to have a job but he's only just 15, I'll have to see if he's able to.
