bro NB01, come share your magic...

Better Divide his activity in 3 portions

Outdoor (Where he/she can play, cycle, run walk swim etc)

Indoor (Coloring, TV, Building Blocks, indoor games, study)

Family Time (Give him good communication about things he can understand, talk with him and listen him, give him small tasks like bring glass from kitchen put it back to learn his importance)

Depends in what context la. Is it for daily basis (home school) or occasional (one off)?
Daily basis need to plan gaogao, worksheets printed out, proper subjects being thought/exposed from time to time. It's not easy but i have a few friends home schooling their kids.

But as a father, occasional ones; like if i have to look after the kid while the mother goes out for 1 whole day, for me are pretty easy because im a little childish to begin with. So i also join whatever my boy wants to do. Drawing/coloring, cycle outside while i jog, playground, cook together, play with puddle when it rains. All these can kill time really easily.

Get a pet like small dog , cat, fish, or tortoise

Hi from Q-dees! Totally agree with so many suggestions from this thread. Though I would like to chime in a bit on the discussion.

There should definitely be a time limit as to how long your children can be exposed to gadgets so that they are not addicted to them.

Now on the topic of "entertain anak2", I would propose you to see it as a way of spending more quality times with your kids. Kids' brains are rapidly developing at this stage when growing up. So a lot of stuff is interesting and exciting to them.

For instance, you could teach them a new language, build something together like woodwork, solving puzzles or even help them to develop a habit of reading.

If anything, hope this article helps:

Depends on how old is your child

And ask them to do household chores.

I grew up without a computer or cp. I just had things like this when I was an adult. Maybe it should be children's games that make the body sweat and exercise and the child can explore without frowning on the radiation of the gadget and growing sluggish body.

support housework

play together with them.. no phone less tv

Train them become youtube specialist

Parents, I'm buying for my nieces and nephews. Would this be good? Hopefully this will take some time off from the TV and gadgets(passive activity, just watching) and actually do something(active) indoor.
Also, probably would help their parents WFH as well.
And I just feel like buying them something. Long time no treat the kids since the pandemic

It's a cardboard playhouse that they can paint/colour/doodle on it. Can fit one or two kids perhaps inside.


Appreciate for more ideas.

My sons like Lego a lot. They can play hours with it.

Then they'll study. Read some comic books and do some doodling.. Coloring.

Around 5pm they'll go play outside.. Still inside our house compound. Running.. Scooter.. Cycling.. Digging around the soil..

We usually have a movie night on weekend only. No TV on weekdays. Cartoon only on weekends.

now a days got kiddo pun susah
