[QUOTE="witzend, post: 535136, member: 99"] It sounds as though he has too much physical energy to sit still. I have to admit, when I was a kid I would have driven myself as a parent crazy. He's 15, and it's sad that it's summer time because there's no summer school teams. But, boy, it sounds as though he would do great with something like cross-country running. That's the one that pops into my head because it is a solitary thing where he's probably not going to "get into it" with a teammate or a coach, but it would plain old tucker him out. Team sports have the added bonus that if he likes it he has to maintain certain GPA and/or behavioral standards to remain. Same thing with Drama or Choir, but those are much more interactive, and might be a bit of a push. What about a boys and girls club? Church summer group that goes on outings? We were brought up Catholic but my mom sent me to Summer Bible School at the Methodist place because it got me out of the house and doing stuff. I think it's just a shame that there aren't parks and rec programs anymore. There's just nothing for kids to do. [/QUOTE]
