Honestly, this. She is four and you and husband let her wander around the house all day because you are busy working? I don’t care about her being bored. I care about her being safe and supervised. Please send her back to daycare. She needs actual adults in her life. [/quote]

Yeah, i hate to pile on but I agree. [/quote]

My kids are six and we don't let them wander the house all day!  We are paying our nanny to stay home due to a health concern of hers, but we are staggering our work so that we can be there for our kids.  When we both have a call at the same time we plan ahead and have an activity (even if it's just unstructured play time) for them to do.  We don't just let them roam around.[/quote]

We let our six year old putter around the house and yard. He watches Netflix - mostly nature videos, does DreamBox, drives his sister's PowerWheels around the yard, waters the garden, plays with remote control cars, rides his bike, plays in the sandbox or his trampoline. If he wants to go swimming DH or I will take our laptop and sit in the covered porch by the pool to watch him while we work. Roaming builds imagination.[/quote]
