Things you can do and learn with your children

Jul 26, 2007 in travel, fun, family

Have children is extremely educational. I realized that my understanding of the world after have kids have been full of new discovers.

When you have kids, you start to see the world completely different.

For example, when you go shopping or out for dinner. First you looked to see clothes, shoes, nice restaurants and bars, now you are looking for disabled ramps, baby facilities, and kid’s menu.
When you drive, you don’t like high speed any more. In fact, you drive slowly, so that way, your baby‘ll fell sleep.
Do you think people who make children’s programmes on TV like Telettubies and Barney don’t know what they are doing? Wrong. They really know what they are doing. You can try to put your baby in front a television to watch one of those shows. He’ll eat anything you put near his mouth.
Are you thinking about give a gift to some kid? Maybe you could give a robot, or a remote control car, or the new Barbie doll. Wrong. The best toy they’ve ever had could be a TV’s cardboard box or a plastic spoon.

Ok, maybe you are wondering: So, how can parents have some fun with a 6-years-old and a 13-months-old? With anything. Have small children is the best excuse ever to do everything you wanted to do and couldn’t since you are a grown one:

- play with remote controlled trains
- pretend you are a Jedi
- free your internal child
- Make funny faces
- rethink your life with a child’s eye
- collect leaves
- bounce for a while
- visit the Zoo
- join a bookclub
- cook something
- get a ride
- sing songs
- act a play
- undust your telescope
- go out for a walk
- talk to the animals
- drive for fun
- make funny noises
- make a snowman
- play with boats
- take your time in a toyshop
- get your luggage and enjoy a trip

- plan a treasure hunt
- pretend you are an astronaut
- visit a fire station,
- do magic tricks,
- throw pennies into the fountain and make a wish.

Enjoy yourselves.

And in the end of the day, when you are completely tired, hide from everybody and go get some sleep…
