[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I try to stay on top of them before moving to the next toy but it’s hard! So this morning we did play dough at the breakfast table. 20 min of play dough and then the 1 year old (1.5 really) moves on but the 3 year old is still playing. 1 year old starts dumping stuff in another room and then I go see what he’s up to. And then the 3 year old leaves play dough. So I quickly get another activity- puzzles. By the time I have cleaned playdough up (putting it in a bin quickly and vacuuming the crumbs before they get tracked into carpet), they’re done with puzzles. It’s like a 3 ring circus here.

And I’m lucky because today is my day off. Normally I’m teleworking full time. Which means less oversight over their play.

I actually think it would be easier to run a daycare because then there would be more kids. More kids play together and sit together for activities. Get one in line and the rest follow like ducks. [/quote]

They need to help you clean up before they  move to the next activity.  Non-negotiable.[/quote]
