14. Put on a show
As children, we all enjoyed putting on a show or a play for the adults to watch – we would prepare in the bedroom and then perform in the living room. Ask your kids to put on a show – it’ll keep them busy preparing, coming up with ideas, getting creative and active.
For some reason, children have no stage fright (at least not in front of family) and they enjoy the attention and the praise. It’ll also give you some alone time while the kids are preparing for the show. so it’s a win-win situation.
