Sure, summer is filled with lots of outdoor activities like going to the beach and swimming in the pool \u2013 and, let\u2019s face it, sleeping till noon for teens.<\/p>\n<p>However, all that wears thin very quickly. What they waited all year long for does not seem as interesting now as it did when they were waiting for it. This is a great opportunity to step in and offer up some new hobbies for your teen or child.<\/p>\n<p><b>1. Take Up Music Lessons<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Summertime is a great time to take up some music lessons. There is so much more time during summer as compared to during the school year. If your child or teen is like most, they are sleeping plenty and are well rested.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s wonderful to introduce music lessons when your child is more relaxed and has the time to actually enjoy taking up a musical instrument. It won\u2019t feel as much as something on their to-do list as it does pure enjoyment.<\/p>\n<p><b>2. Try a New Sport<\/b><b>&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n<p>If your child has been taking the same sport such as football or soccer during the school year, now is a great time to take up summer-related sports such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Surfing<\/li>\n<li>Swimming<\/li>\n<li>Golf<\/li>\n<li>Volleyball<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The possibilities for summer sports are numerous and your child can certainly find something age appropriate, fun and enjoyable that brings them together with other children or teens their age.<\/p>\n<p><b>3. Summer Sports Camps<\/b><\/p>\n<p>If your child is not sure which sport he or she is interested in, signing them up for a summer sampler sports camp works wonders. In this way, your child or teen can see which sport is most likely to be the one that carries over to the school year and perhaps beyond.<\/p>\n<p><b>4. Get Creative<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Summer is a great time for getting messy. Teens and children can take to painting outdoors, working with clay, sand, or any type of arts and crafts project they wish. Being able to create outdoors saves your dining room table from paint and glue accidents while giving them a sense of being close to nature.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing outdoors is another wonderfully creative outlet for children of any age, no matter their skill or talent level. Classes that are done strictly outdoors is another great way to get creative and get close to nature.<\/p>\n<p><b>5. Build Something<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Back in the day before summer camps were popular for summer, kids of all ages gathered around the neighborhood to build stuff from old throwaways and junk. Today\u2019s garbage is a bit more sophisticated. Sometimes families throw out perfectly good materials such as lumber.<\/p>\n<p>Match that lumber up with some paint and a few wheels from an old wheelbarrow and you\u2019ve got yourself the makings of a go-kart.<\/p>\n<p>Or, help your older teen build a fort or tree house of some sort. It may just be a bonding experience, after all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is no better time than summer to try to encourage your child or teen to take up a hobby.
