tips on babysitting kids
I wonder about kids since I’ve babysitted them before. What do they think
about? Especially babies. Maybe babies think about floating popsicles and
flying rattles but I don’t know lol. Anyways, I have babysitted before and
it can be the longest chore. Attention Attention, and more attention-that’s
what they crave. But boys can be so hyper. Its like male kids most of the time
don’t sit still unless they are eating. But I realize that computer games
can make them sit down and focus. So I go to various sites where the
little boy can have fun and also sit down at the same time
. This site has alot of stuff you can print out:

involve, crafts, flags, geography and much more. Here is a site
where kids can color online:

This site has National geographic shows, pbs, and much more:
Also, its good to make up stories even if the kids don’t
have a book. I just made up my own character and the little boy
constantly wants to hear the story. He remembers stuff and fills
it in and then wants me to tell the story again.
Second, I wonder why its so hard for kids to go to sleep like when babysitting.
I’ve been told because they don’t want to miss anything.
But it would all be so great if there were a healthy lotion
prescribed by doctors that you could rub on the kid’s
face once a day to make them stop resisting sleep each night.
But then people might try to use that on adults. That
would be funny-a sleepy world. Yes, so someone I know
said they might try to use it on adults.
Third, I found an article about the sleeping habits of kids. So this
will be good use to keep kids sleeping longer. The site says have a wake up schedule
and bed-time schedule. Do not let them sleep too late on weekends.
Under a doctor’s guidance, you could give the child the melatonin. But I’m
going to state the site with this info in a bit. Encourage reading, chatting,
and soothing activities around 30 minutes before going to bed. The site
I got this information from is

I’ve really never heard of what melatonin do, but check
a doctor , this site, and some other sites for more info.
So, what do you think ? Useful info?
