    What a fun age to be with!

    If time allows, try and prepare a schedule for the two of you to follow. This really helps since children appreciate knowing what to expect. It will help if you include some sort of down time or rest period as well so that you can have time to regroup and set up for the next activity and make sure you don't forget those much needed snack and bathroom breaks too. Activities...try asking the child to share with you a few of their likes and center activities and or projects around that. Making fun things to give to the parent is something else 5yr old's love for example, collages, dream catchers, or a special painting.

    Whatever you decide have fun and be creative!

    Peace and Blessings!

    by using regulation, to babysit, the guy must be 12 or older. that's only in Washington. I guess in some states the minimum age is youthful. 10-3 hundred and sixty 5 days-olds are way too youthful to babysit youthful toddlers. possibly watch a toddler a pair years youthful than them for an hour, yet by no skill a toddler by using themselves. in actuality, i do no longer think of even 12-3 hundred and sixty 5 days-olds must be left on my own babysitting a toddler below 2 or 3.

    they love love love to be read to, boys like to play with little cars, girls enjoy tea parties, dolls, and dress up. Also Power rangers, Barney, Dragon Tales, Bob the builder, adn a lot of younger girls enjoy Disney movies and such. Dont forget that Spongebob may not be appropriate for 5 yr olds. have a good nature and smile alot. try to make them laugh and stuff. if none of that works, get them to go to sleep.

  • You could play board games or go fish. Color or play hide n seek. Read or watch tv. Have him help you make lunch and dinner. Any thing to do to keep him active be bed time.
