best bikes 9 year old kids image



hello


The boy I babysit is is 9 years old. He's OBESSED with video games, superheroes, and cartoons. I would really like him to go outside and swim, ride his bike and just do other stuff besides sit around all day. I even went to A.C. Moore and got a lot of cool crafts for him to do but he says hes too tired and he goes in his room shuts the door and watches cartoons. When I watched him last year, he wasnt like that. He also says that he doesnt want to go outside because its humid and hes afraid that its going to thunderstorm! I've tried to convince him that he will be fine, but its not working! Please help me! Thank you!
i would never leave him outside alone...i always play with him
hes pretty old enough to tell if im lying about the tv isnt working
we live in the middle of know where surrounded by cornfields...the nearest park is 10 minutes away driving...and we wouldnt be allowed to walk there...theres not even side walks

just to clear some things up :)



Answer
Maybe incorporate the cartoons into his playing outside.
If he says it's too humid, suggest to play out in the sprinkler.
Ask HIM what he wants to do, but don't give him 'watching TV' as an option.
Even tell him that his mom(or dad, or whoever) says that he has to go outside for awhile. (Parents can be more intimidating than the babysitter).
BUT, DO make it fun for him, too! Offer ideas and suggestions, and give him the final choice.
If he still locks himself up in his room watching cartoons all day, you may want to talk to his mother or father(or whoever) and see if they have any ideas.

Good Luck! :)
