A grandchild sleepover with 4 of my 6 revealed that children can do simple activities and have fun.
Three trips to a local splash pad and playground area were daily activities. The deal- the cell phones, ipads and whatever are left at home.
We all know that sand can hurt them. And children do leave things and they could get lost.
Day 3- you know what they all were doing for 45 minutes?
Swinging on an old fashioned swing. Going high and jumping off.
They spent more time on those swings than any other activity.
I was concerned that Nana did not take them out to a place or movie or event. The simple playground worked for them.
My little granddaughter liked the simple walk with Nana to the mailbox every day. We found some acorns from an oak tree and well a simple science lesson occurred.
Slowing down and doing simple activities really works.
Children can learn to enjoy the moment.
