Lookers are usually among the most confirmed homebodies. But, by eighth grade, even the most reticent teens yearn to be more popular and confident. You'll have the greatest success helping your child reach this goal if the activities you suggest tap his areas of interest. For Lookers, it's wise to focus on pursuits that do not require strong people skills, but guarantee a modicum of success to the visually oriented. One of the following ideas may be right for your child.
• Art shows and programs
• Astronomy
• Carpentry
• Collecting stamps, coins, or trading cards
• Computer activities
• Math clubs and teams
• Models and crafts
• Photography
• Science exhibits
• Video and board games
