My kids are 9&7. They require so much input! Even when they play by themselves they are usually doing something dangerous which requires intervention, such as making a theme park in the garden with ‘rides’ of questionable safety. I try send them off alone but it often creates even more work for me!
They’re intense and constant!
Today we took them climbing for 3 hours until exhausted. As soon as they were home one started sewing and the other decided to do lino printing with only half the equipment so we needed to improvise (I’d already put this off from yesterday). Both tasks needed input!
I’d have thought they’d have calmed down by now! Will this happen soon? They’re not naughty but they are constantly on the go!
