Winter is here and with it, flu season. What a drag! Hopefully you and your family will be spared. But if not, maybe you can help make the time go faster and more pleasantly. Here are a few ideas to help entertain children who still can’t go to school or out to play. It’s surprising what a little effort on your part will do for them.
- Paper dolls
- A new movie
- Read aloud books
- Coloring books
- Word search books
- Any new toy
- New art or craft
- View Master
- iPod
- Kindle
These are just a few suggestions. The idea is, find some simple ways to occupy the sick child so the time will pass quicker for him/her as well as you. Nobody likes being sick, but for a child, time drags on so incredibly slowly when they feel so miserable. A little extra attention from you and something calm to keep them occupied does them worlds of good.
