You've already exhausted all your reading material, finished every game session, and belted out all your favorite tunes. So, what additional ways of keeping busy indoors could you explore when staying inside with children becomes routine?
Dealing with parenting responsibilities during a sick day, a snow day, or one of those days when they just don’t want to leave the house can induce severe feelings of being cooped up for anyone. Throw in some complaining youngsters, and you've got a situation ripe for chaos.
Initially, pause for a moment and recall that even though the day might feel never-ending, it indeed has an end.
Next, feel free to take a break if needed. Some brief screen time shouldn’t be harmful.
Laura Linn Knight, the writer of Escape Reactive Parenting, tells Pawonation.com .com That screen time isn't necessarily harmful when it's purposefully utilized.
"It’s an excellent opportunity to enjoy classic family movies with your loved ones," Knight states.
After you've given yourself some breathing room, come up with a few ideas to keep your kids occupied after screen time. And chances are that you probably won't have to play cruise director all day long.
After setting up some indoor activities for children, they might start coming up with their own ideas and taking control of playtime!
