Wellbeing Activity- Trying something new

Message contains an image

Trying new things is the spice of life! Sometimes doing something new as a family, or with your young person - or even just by yourself, is just what is needed.

This week's activity: 

1. Think about something you never or rarely do with your family  - and do it! Talk to your teen about something new that they might want to try this week- you can do this activity together!

2. If you're stuck for ideas, post in this thread, and get some ideas from others!

3. Once you've done something report back

4. Suggest new things for others to try too

 

Some ideas to get you going: 

- learn to play a new instrument 

- order a different cuisine next time you're getting take away 

- go rock climbing 

- watch a documentary on something you know nothing about

- go see a play 

- start knitting 

- take a dance class 

- choose a different route on your way home 

- try a new coffee shop

You could also try have 'dates'.  One where you pick the activity and place and one where your teen picks the activity and place.  Smiley Wink
