A child in a home is both joy and anxiety. Indeed, as he grows up, he becomes more curious and mobile. The kid strives so hard to taste and touch everything. And this requires tireless attention from parents so that small adventures do not turn into big trouble. How to keep your child busy in order to save time and have time to do household chores and rest? Psychologists and experienced moms offer some little tricks.
- Children love to repeat everything after adults. Therefore, they are drawn to the objects that they use in everyday life. Such an aspiration must not be overlooked. Choose the safest ones and give your kid an interesting game. For example, you can organize a music concert and drum with spoons on a saucepan. True, this will require strong nerves from parents and neighbors. As an option for "quiet" fun, an old bag with many pockets is suitable, in which you can hide toys. Empty, clean cream jars can be an alternative to sharp-edged cubes.
- Infinite curiosity prevents kids from concentrating on one activity or toy for a long time. Therefore, they are in a hurry to find new entertainment. In order not to turn the house into a park of toys and attractions, you can hide the old fun of the child for a while in a secluded place, and after a while give it to the baby again, changing it with the already bored ones. This will save a lot of time and money for parents to buy new toys.
- If you need to clean the room and your baby is awake, put him in the playpen and offer a fun activity. For example, give old newspapers and magazines to the naughty children's hands. Older children will be able to use them to form towers, houses and figures. While you are washing, vacuuming, or mopping the floors, your child will be happy to litter by tearing up the paper. But all the paper tinsel will remain in the arena, the child will be safe, and the house will be clean.
- Another way to entertain your child and save time for rest or household chores is a play mat. You can do it yourself or purchase it at a specialized store. This is a comfortable play area with many colorful and whimsical improvisations to develop all kinds of baby's feelings and thinking.
- Older children can be offered sculpting, drawing, or the usual viewing of cartoons. However, this may captivate them for a while. Therefore, it is important to add a touch of originality to such classes. For example, you can pick up a cartoon game. He not only unfolds a fairy tale plot in front of a child's gaze, but also conducts a kind of dialogue with them, holding their attention in front of the screen for a long time. You can sculpt from sweet dough, to music or to a theme set by the parents. And it's better to draw not on paper, but on a special tablet. All this develops the child's ingenuity and creative imagination.
