[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here -- Thanks PP. What do your kids do while you make dinner? Are they just good at keeping themselves busy? One of mine is not. So we have from 3:30-8pm afterschool. Even if they're outside for quite a while, that's a lot of time to fill. Their homework takes 5-10 minutes. [/quote] I'm the one whose kids are 9 and 12 and can't watch tv except on vacations, and they only use the iPad during the week for looking up things needed for school. What do they do while I make dinner? They HELP MAKE DINNER. Dinner is for the family, thus the whole family helps. If they finish before dinner is actually ready they run to take their shower and change into pjs, they play basketball in the driveway, they play card games with each other, play with the dog, fold laundry, jump on the trampoline, read, knit, rug-hook, draw, etc. There's TONS of stuff to do besides stare at a screen.[/quote]
