What parent doesn’t need regular exercise? Take your middle-schooler with you when you work out. One dad wanted to get fit and learn a skill at the same time, so he took boxing lessons. The dad arranged for his son, Peter, to take boxing lessons at the same time he did. Peter loved it, learned new moves, and asked his dad for a punching bag he could use at home. On the flip side, do the exercise your child wants to do.
Bring home a piece of equipment out of the blue and say, “Help me put this thing together.” It could be materials for an obstacle course or hand holds to make a climbing wall in the basement.If your middle-schooler is better than most at a physical skill, find an activity in which he can practice it. The little kid who played imaginary combat with a stick might now like fencing, the animal lover might be ready to learn to run a dog on an agility course.
