<p>My son is frequently bored. He is pretty introverted and has a couple friends, but doesn't have a strong desire to spend time with many kids. We have no kids his age in our neighborhood. He is frequently, well, bored and has trouble entertaining himself. So I'm wondering, what do your boys around this age do to entertain themselves? My son likes to play video games or on his ipod. He also listens to music and he likes to practice DJing (he has all the setup to create music, mash ups, etc) and he will go outside sometimes and play around on the lacrosse bounce back net. But he does spend a lot of time on media-video games/ipod games- and I have mixed feelings about that (as does he. He has told me he thinks he spends too much time staring at media). But I'm not sure what to redirect him to since he seems not interested in anything else. </p>

<p>Luckily lacrosse season is about to start up and this will take up some of his down time. I almost feel like he has too much downtime because he doesn't know how to fill it. Suggestions? And I'm assuming it's normal at this age for everything I suggest to be met with an eyeroll or a complaint? He doesn't seem to want to bake or cook, draw, read a book, walk the dog, etc. </p>
