[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 3 kids (4, 2, and 4 months). All boys. Older two are very active, curious, and physical. They do not like to sit and draw or sit and play for any meaningful amount of time.

What makes things fun for me is consistency and low(er) stress activities. I’ll take them to the zoo or museum with dad but, alone, it’s all about parks and the pool. They can get their energy out and there is not much to break. I can look on and jump in if I have to but mostly stay on the sidelines and watch them enjoy themselves. At these ages I think it’s mostly fun watching them have fun and giving them some independence so your not micromanaging or needlessly stressed.

Always bring snacks everywhere, keep a good sleeping/eating schedule, and don’t over schedule yourself. If it takes 20min to get to the pool instead of 5 because the kids find a bug on the way let go of the impulse to rush things along.  [/quote]

How do you manage three kids alone in the pool? [/quote]
