Prompted by another thread.... what home-based activities can I suggest for my 12 year old who once upon a time would spend hours doing arty-crafty type stuff, writing stories, illustrating, doing jigsaws, playing board games, loved reading etc etc. She does have activities outside the house but when she's home, she is not interested in anything. We won't allow her to spend all her time on computer/TV/texting - but she finds everything else boring. Occasionally I can persuade her to make greetings cards and she's made the odd scrapbook but she has grown out of the other crafty activities. She'll knit for 5 mins, then she's had enough. Likes cooking/baking but can't be doing that all the time. Hates jigsaws; struggle to get her to read for long. ideas very welcome!
