Most of us enjoy a lazy day when we can sleep in, and just relax a little―and our kids are no different. However, when the dog days of summer come, some teens take that one “couch out” day and stretch it over an entire summer break. Here are some tips to combat summertime teen laziness and keep your teen active and engaged.  

Communicate Expectations - Tell your teen in a non-threatening but firm manner that you will not accept their staying in bed all morning and afternoon. It is perfectly reasonable to ask that they get up at a decent hour. Explain that you want them to do more than merely watch TV, play video games, or visit social networking sites all day.  

Get Them Engaged - Whether you ask them to help you more around the house, participate in volunteer activities, or help them get a job, you want them to be engaged in something worthwhile. This may help them appreciate the joys of serving others that will last a lifetime, help them learn to manage money, and also help them realize the value of their time.  

Spend Family Time - Avoid giving lectures about what they should do during the summer. Instead, _______________________________. Take them shopping, go to a movie, or take time to learn or play a new sport with them. Not only will this help them be more active during the summer, it’ll also help get some much needed exercise, too. These are often great times to open dialogue with your teen about important issues.  

Parents all over the country complain that their teens get lazy during the summer break. But teens, just like toddlers （学步的儿童）, need guidance, clear communication, and reminders of your expectations in order to be successful. These tips should get you well on your way. Ask your teen if there are things they’d like to accomplish before school starts, and then help them to meet those goals.
