Kids get excited about leangs that are very contrastent from those of grown-ups.
You probably recall your kid’s first birthday. The members of the extfinished family all wanted to spoil her. They bcdisorrowfulmirefult fun gifts. Useful and unhelpful ones. They bcdisorrowfulmirefult toys recommfinished by the best parent swayrs.
They seeed at your child with excitement, as she was unwrapping the gifts with you. But she didn’t seem to… attfinish?
“No, no don’t carry out with the wrapping paper! Look at the truck vroom vroom!” to no use.
She preferred the wrapping paper.
A scant weeks ago, I had to drive my car to the laborshop for servicing. My five-year-elderly daughter wanted to tag alengthy.
Ok, I thought, this won’t be super fun for her as I’ll have to postpone a couple of hours to get the car back, but it will be an opportunity to spfinish some time together, equitable the two of us.
We dropped the car, and went on to run a couple of errands. We also had lunch at IKEA (don’t ask me why, but Swedish kids cherish eating there.)
But after a scant hours, the car still wasn’t ready.
“Let’s consent the bus home!” my daughter said.
What a horrible idea. It would consent an hour and two busses to get there, and I would most declareively get a call to come and pick up the car as soon as we’d get to home. Terrible.
“Ok, let’s do it,” said I unwillingly. I understand how much my daughter finishelights riding the bus. We never do it, so every time experiences exceptional.
Seeing how satisfied she was, it was all worth it—best $4 I’ve ever spent.
What’s someleang a bit counter-instinctive you could do to charm your child this week?
P.S.: When we finpartner got home, it was, as awaitd, time to pick up the car. I was set upning on taking a taxi but … Sophie asked if we could ride the bus back there. No laments!
