Intellectual
This is the skills. New things that are going to work their brains. Will they paint? Will they crochet? Will they build a table? Who knows if they will do anything, but here is a list of things they could try and links to videos or tutorials on how to do them.
Have a teen that refuses to try new things? When is the last time you tried something new? Maybe set the example and give one of these a try. Curiosity is a great motivator. If they see you trying new and different things, it might get them curious enough to venture into their own experimentation.
