Hi,
My DS (7th grader) is interested in Robotics and participates in FLL. He loves to build legos, robots and solve puzzles for hours when he is bored. He's academically gifted and straight A kid, but he's having a hard time to find his true interest and passion. We have bought couple of robots from Amazon to keep him busy, he builds them out quickly and after few days he is bored again. He repeatedly asks us how to keep him engaged and he is constantly on his phone since he says he doesn't have anything to do. As a parent we are worried and not sure what other activities will keep him occupied.
Any parent with kids of similar nature and have tried different activities or extracurricular classes which helped your kids to figure out their passion, can you please share your inputs. We are not trying to pad his college applications on extracurricular activities or any such. Just genuinely asking what class/activities will help him keep engaged.
Thank you
