Re: Re: jobs for our kids??

[Guest guest]

if he can't get a job for any reason, here's an idea...have him take rolls of pennies and separate the ones that are older than 1984 or ? which have a lot of copper from the newer ones...a magnet will pick up the ones w/ metal..the copper pennies are worth more than their value and will not lose value when the dollar declines further in value. it's more of a business than a job though.

I don't think I understand your question, then. What do you mean by "job?"

What about a supermarket?  There's a supermarket close to my house that's fairly big and they hire a LOT of kids around 13 or 14 and kids work/socialize there.  A very good environment.  One of my nephews started working there when he was around 13 or 14.

 

 

I am not sure where you are coming from with these

comments? Do your kids not do odd jobs in the neighborhood

or around the house? I will help him get more comfortable

talking to people if he has to interact on that level!!!

legally.

kids here. I once tried to get these kids to socialize with my son

and wanted to pay them for their time and that was the last time we

spoke to that family. The mom told me that her kids could barely

know things for themselves. Maybe it's the people I met but they

aren't too social themselves. Like I told our old consultant, if I

have to rely on others to socialize my son, I'll be disappointed.

One person when he asked her what her name was said, " it's none of

the things they teach a child would amaze you, not always

appropriate either.

LOL Well obviously I didn't completely get it either because I didn't jump in with answers. I originally thought of grocery bagging/cart attendant but wasn't sure on the age requirements and social-ness.

But it makes sense, just getting the person out of the home, with short exposures to eye contact and " hello " and " good-bye " kind of things... until they are older, can have a real job, and need to make more conversation. Getting paid for brief social encounters rather than PAYing someone for same. ;-)

 

I dunno.  I misunderstood the question, too.  When I think of odd jobs, I don't think of socialization.  There's not a lot of socialization with weeding a garden or mowing lawns, but they can involve pay, even if it's just a few bucks.  I get it now, after all the comments, but jobs and socialization didn't make any sense to me at the time. Then again, I'm still working on the " clean your room for an allowance " bit in my house.     But I think there are definitely some great suggestions flying out.

You asked a very unclear question about jobs not chores. I thought you were meaning paying jobs. And no we don't have these type of things here. Here people are not that friendly. We live in long island and kids keep to themselves. Once they found out my son has autism, friends are very very hard to find and even harder to keep.

If I had a 13 year old I would make the whole thing a big project. To begin with do an inventory of his strengths, weaknesses, etc. Come up with a list of 10 most desireable jobs ( and/or places to work. At 13 I would have loved to work in a bookstore and might have just been happy to take out the trash everyday as long as they allowed me to work there.)Take list 1 and use it to develop a networking chart. Identify all employer possibilities in the

geographic area from list one and think of everyone you know who has a connection to these. Make plans to contact 2 per day (phone, email whatever) until you have some "informational interviews." Proceed with the idea that even an unpaid ( or parent financed) internship with a highly desirable entity: the museum, the state capitol, the zoo- whatever at 13 where the teen produces a slam dunk impression opens up the possibility for him to work there for the next 4 years before he goes away to school.
