How to keep your kid busy

Kids have a lot of energy, more than adults, any day. It is a very tough task to utilize their energy in the right direction.

As a new parent, I'm learning these tricks on how to keep your child engaged in a manner that they not only enjoy but learn as well. As far as my experience goes, it's not a very tough job, but yes, it is time taking and requires a lot of parent-child engagement and interaction. You have to spend a good amount of time with your child to keep them engaged because a child demands attention. He doesn't understand that you have 10 other tasks to do. So you gotta cut them some slack and do things that will keep them busy and sane.

Let me share my experience with you.

1. Sit with your child for atleast an hour each day, without your phone or any other technology. This is the time you bond with your child and teach them new things and habits that you want to imbibe in them.
2. Give them something constructive to do like blocks or clay sand, using which they can be creative and do multiple things without getting bored.
3. Play and run with them, that's one thing all of them love. It not only makes them feel that they are being well attended to but also helps them feel tired and sleepy.
4. Allow them to watch some nice, educational poems and stories on television that can help them learn new things.

Having a child is a blessing but can be really tiring at times. Being a good parent is not easy but when you are one, it's your responsibility to ensure that your child is nurtured to be a good and smart person when they grow up.
