Chapter 16. Keep Your Children Busy When You Are Busy Yourself.

For parents, especially those who work from home, it can be difficult to find time to do things on your own when kids are around. But it is important to understand that children can learn to play on their own and not require constant parental attention. In this chapter, we'll look at a few games and activities that can keep your child occupied when you need to focus on what you're doing.

1. Dead Eye
   This game is suitable for children of any age and can be played outdoors or indoors. You will need a set of balls of different sizes (basketball, football, volleyball, etc.). Place baskets or targets in different places and ask your child to throw balls at them. This will help develop the child's coordination and motor skills.

2. Water works
   Take a large bowl or tub, fill it with water and add floating objects such as bath toys, pieces of fruit or vegetables, marbles, etc. The child can use the net to catch objects or simply play with them in the water. This game will help develop fine motor skills and a sense of coordination.

   Invite your child to create his own lemonade stand. He can draw a sign and invite friends over for lemonade and snacks. This game will help develop entrepreneurial skills, social skills and creativity.

8. Washing the car
   Let your child wash the car with you. He can use a hose, a bucket of soapy water, and rags. This game will help develop motor skills and a sense of responsibility.

10. Game with ribbons
    Give your child colorful ribbons and ask him to use them to create a beach toy or decoration for his room. This game will help develop creativity and fine motor skills.

It is important to remember that every child is unique and may enjoy different games. Therefore, if some game does not occupy your child, do not despair. Try offering him a different game and see what interests him. Teach your child to play independently and give him the opportunity to show his imagination and creativity.
