PARENTING ADVICE NEEDED: Dungeons and Dragons + Magic
I was a farm kid growing up whose choice was either play sports/music OR help on the farm after school. I was not a stellar athlete but went to a small school so was able to play. Now I live in a large town and my middle school son doesn't want to play sports/music and only wants to do Magic and D&D after school clubs. My concern is that he is isolating himself into what is comfortable and fun but not necessarily beneficial. I am curious of the perspective for anyone that had a different childhood than me. Should I challenge him to do other activities (math/science club, chess club, sports, band, guitar/piano lessons, etc.)
I figured NOSTR would be a great place to throw this out since it is so diverse, and would ask you to repost so that I can get some more engagement.

At least one study found that D&D players were more socially advanced than their peers.
Considering how much people avoid in-person interaction currently, if he's willing to physically meet with peers for anything that isn't a detriment, support it!
Thank you for the feedback. I don’t have all the answers but just want to stay open minded. Bitcoin has been a paradigm shift for me in that way.
