[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 605947, member: 11791"] Some sort of outdoor, if its part of their routine - wear them out if you can. After supper, you need to know what THEIR routine is, it really helps settle them in. My favorite time-spender with kids I'm "minding" in any context? Read some really good kids books to them. Not sure what you're making for supper, but if you want to get them on your good side for the long haul, "play" with their food. Making carrot sticks? try running a fork down the length of the carrot, then slice into rounds and make carrot flowers. Celery and cheese whiz. Open-faced sandwiches with a face built in. Bring a few (cheap) curly fun straws to drink from. But do all the "fun" and "different" earlier in the day, like before supper. And then do the rest their way... [/QUOTE]
