[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is home till 6:30pm at the earliest on weekday. Both children are at daycare or ES aftercare. One take computer and one take tablet when I prepare dinner. After dinner, it is either 7:30pm or 8pm. They go back to use computer or tablet while I take a break on sofa. If I have a little bit energy, I read a book to them or we watch interesting news together. I bring all kids upstair at 8:45pm to do shower and kids are at bed between 9pm to 9:30pm.

I think we should do something together. I hope for at least 15-20 min educational for each kid, but I don't have energy and exhausted. Anything that takes minimal effort or energy or not make kids super hyper that we could do. DH is out of questions because he sometimes work or have a small drink to relax. His workload is more stressful.[/quote]

Pp here. Teach them some card games. Lots of math to be had playing those. Dh can have a drink while holding some cards too. I would leave the pre dinner screens and replace with something post dinner. Even a some lego or puzzle would be better. Less screen close to bedtime would lead to better sleep too. [/quote]
