[quote=Anonymous]How old? Mine kindergartener gets off the bus a bit before 4. He eats a snack (grabs an apple or something, or if I’m motivated I’ll fix him a piece of toast or something) and I chat with him about his day. Then he unpacks his bag, puts his lunch stuff in the sink, changes clothes and washes hands. Then he does a mix of purely fun stuff and chores, usually 2-4 things from this list: -feed dog -water balcony garden -draw (I set up a little art station in the corner for him) -help make dinner -go outside and play with chalk in the fenced backyard patio -sometimes read with me We eat dinner pretty early so he can be in bed by 7, so that helps. I agree with others that you shouldn’t feel obligated to entertain your kid. They can be bored. Sometimes I play 30mins of piano or read while dinner is in the oven, and my son figures out how to occupy himself. [/quote]
