How do your kids de-stress ?

Tamarind,


All these ideas are great to keep the kids occupied.
It improves their fine motor skills and their eyes for details.

That's mama's ambition there.

But tamarind, I agree with you this thing about teaching them patience. I use larger beads and the kids love to include this to their gifts (princess, dog, heart etc). thanks for sharing.

Yes you are right that it is mama's ambition :lol:

Patience and excellent fine motor skills are required in many jobs

Patience and excellent fine motor skills are good to have for anything.
Btw, those small beads are Hama beads which I bought alot too many years ago for my child to play with her playdates but not so cheap from Growing Fun. So it's worthwhile to get from IKEA....should be more PATIENT... :stupid:

When mine were younger, they de-stress by going for swimming classes, inline skating, cycling and even skateboarding to the nearby park. occassionally, we’ll play badminton as well.


now it’s difficult to drag them away from the internet…even had to insist on a weekly exercise outing with the younger one.

Thanks for posting the link. Oh those are hama beads. At Ikea they are called Pyssla beads. Great for encouraging creativity too. Kids can design any patterns that they want.

My kids are learning swimming too. I hope to let them learn badminton, table tennis, rock climbing, and also to try out archery. But as a full time working mommy, I can only bring them out during the weekends. I will not want them to spend too much time on the computer everyday.

When I ask my girl whether she wants to become a doctor, she also says no. I am fine with my kids taking up any profession, so long as they can support themselves doing something that they love.
