What to occupy the child?

Question

I don't have a lot of free time right now. I try to devote all of it to my son. But I don't always manage to do that. He resents that. Sometimes I need to get to work and not be distracted. What advice can you give me? Maybe some games?

Answer 1

I absolutely struggle with it as well. No matter how hard I screen at interview. I find that the kids who DO play, play limited versions of TV shows. They also need a TON of attention when doing so. "LOOK AT ME. I AM _______!!"

I do a LOT of modeling play. A LOT. Then I step back, watch how it goes and intervene when they start to leave to get them reinterested. I have had moderate success with a few of my kids. The rest, even after months and months----nothing.

It is a self-indulged generation right now, but if your look around, we have a generation of adults this way as well!
