What’s something that does not come naturally to you? Maybe public speaking makes you break out in a sweat, or you think running is torturous.

Now, how would you feel if you had to spend eight hours a day doing that very thing you are not good at?

That’s the reality for many boys. Boys are natural explorers. When they reach school age, they are expected to spend most of the day sitting. No wonder they often get in trouble for being antsy!

Outside of school hours, make sure your son gets plenty of opportunities to engage in healthy competition and risk-taking. Activities like archery, fishing, and yes, even tree-climbing, are great places to start. Let your boy be a boy!
