Is your teen bored after school? Perhaps it’s time to consider signing up for an activity. Here are some for young teenagers to participate in after school.

MUSIC AND ARTS

For your child, growing into a young adult may be all about changes. They may start to feel awkward while expressing new tastes and styles.

Luckily, music and arts offer great outlets to help channel their energy and frustrations in a creative method. Not to mention, they both strengthen creative thinking and math skills which can help build on all their subjects.

SPORTS

Participating in sports is much more than just losing weight. For most teens, there are plenty of sports-based activities for boys and girls after school. With sports programs, there are plenty of chances for teens to work together while building strength and leadership skills in co-operation.

If your teenager’s school doesn’t offer school clubs, you can always try the local parks and recreation department activities.

TUTOR OR OTHER AFTER-SCHOOL JOBS

What’s better than learning in school? Helping other students learn. If your kid has a good command of certain school subjects, it may be a great choice for them to help tutor younger students in their off time, getting some income.

If tutoring is not your child’s strong suit, consider helping them apply for an after-school job. These jobs help teens learn real world skills and they look great on college applications.

VOLUNTEER WORK

Volunteer work is constantly on the rise with plenty of chances for your teen to get involved. Working on volunteer projects will not only give your child a positive sense of accomplishment but also provide beneficial experiences for your kid’s college application to help the approval process.

From packing food at the local food storage to walking animals at a local animal center, there are always chances, no matter what your child's interests are. Check with your local town hall for more chances for your teen to participate in.

The best destinations for 2022

As much of the world is slowly reopening following the coronavirus pandemic (疫情), travel is front of mind for so many of us. The hope is that 2022 will see families reunited and vacation time used on once-in-a-lifetime experiences. We list several places you should have on your bucket list.

Egypt is home to the Pyramids of Giza, one of the seven wonders of the world. But don’t think that “old” means “dull”. Despite their 4,500+ years of history, we are still learning more about these architectural marvels every year.

It’s nearly impossible to discuss Nepal without talking about Mount Everest. But this Himalayan nation has so much more on offer for travelers who aren’t climbing the world’s highest mountain. In the remote region, travelers can explore the high desert and meet locals at home-slays along the way, dining on Nepali specialties like coffee and momos served “kothey” style-half fried and half steamed.

Thanks to the country’s small size, visitors can cover a wide range of places in a short amount of time, from breathtaking Lake Bled to the modern capital of Ljubliana. This year, the Michelin Guide handed out stars to seven restaurants in Slovenia.

Norway is consistently included on lists of the world’s happiest countries. So what’s their secret? Mette-Marit has one answer: “We love being outside in nature. If you’re in a Norwegian home on a Sunday and you don’t go for a walk in the forest.... that’s not good.”
