Give him a reading list (fiction, unless he really enjoys non-fiction).
Pick up a hobby or sport or instrument.
Plan for Christmas - presents, celebrations, cards etc.

Got interrupted just now - also can do some household stuff (tidying, cleaning), learn to cook and sew, plan for a family trip if you are going on one.

Learn to type with 10 fingers. This will be useful in secondary school.

I can only type with four but I have a speed of 64 words per minute.

i can't type with 10 fingers, I use 4-5 fingers, left thumb - middle and right thumb and index, i type reasonably fast, but how does learning to type with 10 fingers benefit, if 4-5 fingers is alr quite fast :scratchhead:

Do you still need to see the keyboard while you are typing? If you use 10 fingers to type, you don’t have to look at the keyboard AT ALL. You’ll be faster and your thought process won’t be interrupted by you glancing at the keyboard.


When you are using 10 fingers, your fingers also don’t have to move as much. You’ll be faster.

It is up to you whether you want to learn or not. My DS told me it benefits him a lot especially since he doesn’t have to look at the keyboard at all.
