Preteens

[telemwill]

I like the skipping, but I used to skip everywhere as a kid myself. Wonder if it annoyed people? I have four preteens. I wish they had more things to play with and for longer periods of time, but I love the little guys.

hmmmm ... outside the box here ... if you think about it preteen can apply to toddlers and babies as well ages 0 - 12 ... cant call them teens till they hit thirTEEN. right ?

If we ever get the preteens to teens if they follow real life teens they will spend most of their time in bed or on their mobile/cell phones and will slouch around lol (apologies to any teenagers on the forum for stereotyping)

dont forget their tendancy to love to play video games at all hours with detriment to their school work !

I like the skipping too, telemwill.

Another thing to do with your preteens -- have them read a novel at night to earn XP's. The dirty Firemonkeys lowered the xp value on reading fine literature, but if you use one of the preteen bookshelves, the "read a novel" option still gives over 1500 xp's.

Another good thing for preteens ... send them to the snow park to go tobogganing. The hour option on the toboggan gets you over 500 xp's.

This gave me a chuckle. Guess they don't appreciate fine literature.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I can see he is going to be useful after all.
