Kids Indoor Activities because of the situation, we find ourselves in, in today’s world, having a bored child as well as an adult at home 24/7 can be very hectic and sometimes the cabin fever can lead to families not only cracking at the seams but breaking apart and the child education and or activities or lack of it can cause even more animosity and struggles beyond any parent’s solution or save or create solutions
- THE TRUST AND FAMILY SIDE OF THINGS: Games and or
Kids Indoor Activities that include the whole family whether for just one hour, a few hours or even just a half an hour, can grow from there (and if you can include the whole family and that includes the elusive and morbid teenager if you can disconnect them of the “cyber world”, which is advised) can be great fun, for the whole family and re-build a bond that was under strain and could be under immense pressure depending on your time together indoors and level of cabin fever.
Here games of trust and communication are great starting points like :
- Cluedo
- Pictionary
- Charades
All these can build trust amongst siblings if you put them together against parents and parents deliberately lose.
- THE GOOD OLD JUST HAVING FUN: Nothing can beat that tried and trusted good old feeling have just having fun:
Like waking your kids with a pillow fight or putting them to bed with one. pillow fight end it off with them staying in bed and joining them for breakfast in bed watching their favorite morning cartoons and asking questions that are especially funny and especially if you do know the answer but in a funny way, making yourself look silly
If the kid knows you are doing this, it makes them feel even more appreciative and makes it even more fun, and if they don’t they will use terms like a dork and so silly which also puts smiles on face and that’s a start of an improvement
If it is a night pillow fight then…
- THE PARENT LEARNING FROM THE KID SIDE OF THINGS:
After pillow fights, show some interest in their games, especially video, PC, Xbox, or PlayStation and try and join them.
Don’t forget to ask as many questions as possible making them feel important and most likely here you down have to “dumb-down” as you will not be as good as them.
So some good ideas to keep you and family together or divide and conquer and you might just make it through these hard times.
