Here we are at the start of the 6 weeks school holiday. How will that affect life until September?
As a parent of a teenager – not a lot! – for the past 4 months he’s been receiving about an hours worth of schoolwork daily. He’s found it too easy and has learned nothing. He’s been getting out of bed later and later and pulling a few all-nighters on his XBox. Bad parenting? – or just choosing my battles?
He’s been getting out to meet friends at the local park and riding his bike a little – this is good. Hoping that’ll get to be more. I’d like for his basketball traiinng to resume – and so would he. He’s a faint notion that he’s like to train more at home (as I do every day) – but doesn’t enjoy the bit where you have to make to commitment and begin to move his body. He has sveral projects from school to get on with before he goes back to school – but hasn’t even looked to see what’s involved.
No holiday booked – can’t even envisage how that might happen. He’s going to his sister’s for a week. I have no-one to look after the 3 cats this year – might just end up being a week in Whitley Bay – pretty much the same as normal then! (not that that’s a bad place to be – I love where I live!)
6 weeks of trying to get him motivated? – roll on September !!
