DS1 is increasingly reluctant to do things at the weekend with me, Ds2 and DH. I understand teenagers want autonomy. However. His alternative choices can be less than ideal ( sleeping/ being on his phone playing games / staying at home and raiding the fridge chiefly).
His use of devices would merit another thread. It would be useful to have some perspective, what do other parents do to encourage inclusion of teenagers in family activities? I try and encourage stuff such as going swimming, going to a museum, visiting a new area of London , or horror of horrors, going to the allotment. Things which will expose him to new things and/ or involve some exercise. Suggestions of teenage friendly activities we could all do would be very helpful. Thank you.
