Do you have kids but have no idea how to keep them busy on any given day? Is it worse when they are out of school on the weekends and constantly trying to find something to do? I am here to help you figure out things you can do with them to keep them happy and busy throughout the entire weekend or any other afternoons.
Many kids enjoy playing sports and being active to get all of their energy out after having so sit all day at school. Boys particularly love to do this, but many girls find out they love sports as well once they are actually exposed to them and encouraged to play. That is why I encourage parents of any gender of children to take them out in the back yard or to the local park to get a feel for what kind of games they like to play. Try to play football with them, along with soccer, baseball, tennis, basketball, you name it - try to play it.

Not only will this help them find something they like to do, but it is also a great form of exercise and a venue to get energy out. If you try playing sports with your children and they just don't like it after trying it a few times, introduce them to something a bit more mellow such as reading, drawing, or learning on the computer. Maybe your child prefers to be more of an individual activity type of person. If this is so, allow them to occupy themselves with the above said activities, but let them know that you are always there for them if they would like to have some company.
