2 little kids


Question Posted Thursday August 26 2004, 12:42 pm

Ok, I babysit for a 5 and 7 year old. Whenever i watch them, they are always very loud and run through the house, just VERY obnoxious. lol. I can get them to sit down and watch a movie for about 15 minutes and then they get bored. They also play sports in their house, hockey on the floor, and play basketball in the hallway. Last time I watched them, they got in a fight... because of hockey (fist fight). Is there a way I can get them to calm down and not to be so loud? Or do something that will calm them down?

Play the "I locked you in the closet and refuse to feed you because you're pissing me off" game. Kids love it. If that doesn't work, try sending them outside.

take them to a park nearby...play "red light green light" or something..pretty much have them just run the whole time..lol then take them back n put in a movie, theyll probably be tired and maybe even fall asleep...=oP

Make them play a game like Simon Says, or tell them that whoever can be the quietest for the longest will get a big prize, I had to watch a 3 5 and 7 year old at once and it worked, lol
