[blindkid] parents of older children at convention

[Marsha Drenth]

Hi,

 

Potentially I will be taking a 14, 13, and 11 year old to convention. My 13
year old son is blind, and I have already signed him up for all and every
youth track activity possible. I am a bit concerned about my 14 year old 

 

What do other parents do with teenagers while at convention?

 

My fear is that my 14 year old, will be bored out of his mind. Yes, I am
sure he would learn a lot about blindness, but there is ONLY so much for a
14 year old to do, while I am in meetings, and doing the normal convention
thing. It would be one thing if we were going to FL for a vacation, and
could leave the hotel, but as we will be in the hotel most of our time. He
is the type of child that is going to want to go out. Go out of the hotel
and do sight seeing.  I am honestly not even worried about my 11 year old. 

 

If you have suggestions for me, ideas, advice, please email me off list at

Thank you,

Marsha
