Challenge posed to parents

My toddler son with his abundant inquisitiveness inspires me to learn some new activity. He always gets bored easily with the regular and old games and activities. His boredom was the driving force for me to think and try new activities and games for him. My friends and acquaintances who had no or very little clue about the various ideas of engaging their kids prompted me write this.

An inability to think about what to do next is common among parents of small kids. Keeping little children busy is not an easy task. Very few parents consider this task with due seriousness. They hardly spend time gathering ideas or chart activities for the young children. These type of activities and games are essential for their mental and physical development. This requires some planning, little imagination and the right attitude.

Attitude, because I know parents who are either lazy or are too busy, they don’t have time for their children. Parents belonging to either of this group please remember that these experiences children have during the initial years contribute to their physical, social, emotional and intellectual growth.

Nobody can accurately predict how long an activity can hold a child’s attention. The enjoyment and interest towards a particular activity or game varies from child to child. But if your child is enjoying himself with the activity you suggested, you can consider your efforts successful. Never compel a child to do something in which he/she does not show any interest and does not enjoy doing.
