[quote=Anonymous]Preschool teacher here! I suggest you involve your older kid in helping around the house...matching socks while you fold the other clothes. Using a baby wipe to wipe the tub (from the inside) while you scrub the toilet and sink. Give him playdoh and talk to him while you’re cooking dinner. Take them to new playgrounds, explore nature centers, hike paths, and yes get down and play with them at home! Lie down and talk while they build blocks. Read to them and ask them questions about the book. They are probably craving your attention after being in daycare all week, but you don’t have to put on a show for them. Just being with them, talking, existing together is what they need from you. You do not need to entertain them 24/7 but it sounds like you do need more kid time stamina. You’re probably tired from the week, but they are too and need you to be home and engaged.[/quote]
