The situation seems to be changing by the hour and as soon as we get answers, there are more questions! Has it only been a couple of days and you are wondering if you will have any sanity left?
Have you heard your kids whine: “I’m bored. There’s nothing to do.”
Or heard yourself plead: “You can’t just watch TV and play video games all day and half the night. Go PLAY!”
It might seem as though kids have forgotten how to play but some simple ideas and stuff you have at home will give you peace.
Here are 3 sanity savers:
1. GORF’s: Good Ol’ Reliable blanket Forts.
2. Water in the kitchen sink and some small plastic items.
3. A cardboard box and some crayons.
Phew, now you can pour yourself some coffee and actually drink it!
