Alternative to electronic entertainment for young people urgently needed

A 15-year-old boy sitting all day in front of the X-Box or the PC and indeed to go to sleep. And if not, then before the TV. The grades are good to very good. What alternatives can parents offer him for the consumer electronics? How and what can a 15-year deal in the flat without TV or PC? And how many hours per day, shooting games ever justifiable?

Everything at home just exhausted. What is one to do something else? The child would be registered in a sports club a chance. Shooting how many are acceptable? As many as possible. If the censorship wars deteriorate too much. It's best to keep the system in as now.

For this we need something that challenges him, such as Sudoku, chess, billiards or even (so funny to listen to the likes as well) LEGO Creator. The kits are very complex and demanding, and it must also not necessarily be LEGO. There are countless suppliers of model kits. Otherwise, three hours should be sufficient for PC games. Much less bring in PC games but nothing that would make sense since these games are also quite complex.

Books and model may be an alternative but also leisure activities are just being lonely and alone exercised. I think as a club rather appropriate. The boy needs him some day in humans. The grades of school shootings were also always good to very good but the guys were almost completely isolated in their virtual world.

The book is always an alternative. ;-) Or how about an instrument? Things like model are still attractive. :-) Or the good old board games. How long can play is acceptable, you do not say a flat rate. His grades do not seem to suffer.

let him discover the nature that's in your area. He'd be surprised of the many animals and plants and would probably become very much interested in them as soon as he gets a closer look. Maybe - if you have the opportunity - buy him a camcorder with zoom. That makes it even more interesting. I'm 33 now and I started discovering nature about only 3 years ago when I bought myself a camcorder. Now I spend all my spare time watching the birds and discovering the different plant species growing in my area. Cheers
