It’s a big enough struggle to parent, let alone try to be creative enough to come up with an activity and then have the supplies on hand to actually do them with your little kids, only to have them engaged for 30 seconds.
I feel that overwhelm, too.
I want to spend quality time with my kids. I want to be their first teacher. I want to make memories for them to look back on their childhood. This is a primary parenting goal of mine.
Simple activities are key!
By creating simple activities, it doesn’t matter how long your child is engaged, or if they’re focused and pay attention. You’ll find that having these easy to set up activities to do at any moment will make it easier to be the parent you want to be.
