Dive Deep into Creativity: Discover, Share, Inspire
another one that's useful for dealing with basically any age is telling them when things are going to happen, ive babysat a lot of older kids (maybe 8-11 type ages) and the kids are always more receptive when im like "oh tablet time is over in ten minutes" instead of interrupting them and making them stop without warning. kids just like knowing whats happening and want to be treated with some respect.
yes exactly!! it's always good to give kids reminders, even multiple reminders for younger kids so they can keep track of what thirty minutes, ten minutes, and five minutes feels like
