DS went through this stage too. I think it’s just the calm before the storm!

Science is a broad subject. Can you break it down to something more manageable? Geology? Anatomy? Entymology? Ornithology? Zoology? Astronomy? Chemistry? Physics?

I doubt all branches of science are equally fascinating. I hate rocks—but Deb loves ‘em!

Cars—what about them? Design? Speed? Motors? Racing?

Hard, physical labor—Gardening? Building? Chopping? Toting? Picking cotton?

From 12.5 to 14, Cameron pretty much did nothing. Deschooling. Healing.

But at 17, he is soooo busy!

Has he thought of starting his own business? Fifteen can do so much!

Your son still may need to heal. I thought DS would never come around. But he started skateboarding, which led to filming, which led to drumming, which is his now passion.

Working is also wonderful. DS has met so many people (almost all are older). It’s given him a lot of confidence and self-assurance.
