My 13 year old boy seems to be at the point in his life were all he wants to do is stick his face in a screen.
Part of the problem is he has it way too easy. While he has a few daily chores, I don't have any farm animals for him to tend to, or other hands-on labor.
I've put a lot of effort into sharing my knowledge and doing things to make sure he turns out to be a productive member of society throughout his upbringing, but I'm struggling for ideas during these god-forsaken winter months where we can't even get any snow to keep us busy.
Anyway, I'd love to hear some ideas for things we could build / fix / do together that might help inspire him to be a useful human.
