My son loves to play outside, basketball and soccer are his favorites.  He loves to draw and invent his own superhero characters.  I always have lots of paper and markers on hand, because I never know when he might be hit with the need to draw.  Board games are also great.  He likes to help me bake, especially if it involves frosting.  Or put on plays for me .  Just be creative!

Answer 9

Outdoor activities, board games, cards, bowling, reading, tell him if you read me two stories or books and another form of activity you can have 1 hour of television.  If he has a television in his room take it out and don't let him have it back in his room. You have to be the boss on this one.....encourage him to get his mind occupied on something else other that television and video games. Only that on the weekends for one hour.  Good Luck
