From wrangling school bags and finding lost shoes before dropping the kids off at school, to the last kiss at bedtime (and just one more drink of water), life is a adventure with kids. We can’t prepare for everything but these 5 small changes can make the time spent at home with our kids a bit easier.
1.Stash kids’ books in the dining room
Keeping a selection of children’s books (and perhaps some drawing paper) in the dining room can help antsy kids stick it out a little longer at the dinner table. And between mealtimes, if the dining room gets more use as a play space, storing a few favourite books and games here will make cleanup time quicker and easier.
2. Hang a big wall clock to keep the family running on time
Analog wall clocks can help kids get a sense of how much time they have left to play (for example, “when the big hand is on the two, it’s time to put on your shoes") without as much parental nagging. And there’s a side benefit: if you usually use your phone to check the time, having a centrally located wall clock may help curb mindless media browsing (since checking the time on your phone can easily lead to checking social media or email).
3.Clear out a ‘scooter alley’
On rainy days, finding ways for kids to get their energy out can feel next to impossible. Enter scooter alley: a cleared-out hall or side of a room where mini vehicles have (relatively) free rein. The same space can be used for racing matchbox cars, laying out tumbling mats or unfurling a big roll of paper for a spontaneous art project.
4.Designate a temporary art display space
Feeling swamped by the amount of art projects coming home from school? Kids are proud of their work, so it’s natural that they feel reluctant to let you toss it right away, but that doesn’t mean you must keep every water colour and crayon drawing forever. Designate a central place to display favourite incoming artwork for a limited time. When new work comes home, choose something from the board to recycle (or upcycle into thank-you cards, gift wrap or bookmarks) and store only the most special pieces in an art portfolio.
5. Put a little table in the living room
Stationing a play table in the living room (or whatever room your family tends to hang out in) gives little ones a designated space for putting together puzzles and lego creations. Choose a table with a built in storage, and stash favourite toys inside for easy cleanup.
The above tips would create a better world for kids within the four walls.
