""The park" may be too vague to spark interest. It may be like asking someone if they want food to eat or a book to read. So add more specifics to it create a more easily imagined picture. Someone may not want to "bake" but they…"

How to?

here's my question? I would love to do something like unschooling. What do you do if your son just wants to watch tv all day. What if I say I'm going out to the park you want to come and he says no.
