I have to do everything my sibling want. I’m so bored doing the same thing every time. There’s nothing to do on here. (nothing that I like anyway)

Especially a younger one? What should I do to help them settle down? Should I offer rewards, or give punishments? My kid is just NOT INTERESTED in these games! What about ideas/games for mean/rude children? (Not “mean-mean” but kids with a shorter attention span)

If he doesn’t seem to have any, or doesn’t wanna play with them, try hide and seek or other games like that.

This is because if you watch a new movie, it will be harder for them to go to sleep.
