[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not your problem, it's theirs, and they need to solve it.  Just say no electronics until X time or only X minutes per day or whatever, and then let them figure out how to fill the time.  Reading, drawing, writing, legos, painting, knitting, sewing, arts and crafts, cooking, science experiments, card games, magic tricks, etc.   If they complain too much, give them chores to do.  They'll figure it out, and their brains will be better for it.  [/quote]
NP I would love for my DC to do any of these but no siblings to play with. Does this approach work for just one kid? and how long can it keep them occupied?[/quote]

NP (and I have an only), but why wouldn't it work for one kid? As long as they're not an extreme extrovert. And then, if they are, the kids we're talking about here should be old enough to get out and find friends in the neighborhood, or have them over... If that's not possible, you've got a *very* specific problem: an extreme extrovert with no way to hang out with friends. [/quote]
