I'm back to nannying my 13 year old niece twice a week for about 3 hours a night. I was wondering if you had suggestions for good ideas on how to make the most of the time for the both of us. She's currently a fairly normal 13 year old in that all she wants to do is eat and watch TV, although I can lure her into hesitantly doing other stuff if I try hard enough. The stuff had better be fairly fun though, otherwise I will lose what little credibility I have built up.
Also keep in mind that I'm doing this after work, so I don't really have the energy for something super elaborate or creative. Modest goals are probably the way to go, but I'd like to look back on this time and know we did something more useful than watched reruns of Bones. (Which she likes, and I tolerate.)
