Children are oh so lovely, but they can be handful sometimes, especially when the entire family is stuck at home together for an extended period of time.  The funny memes that circulated social media, once school districts started closing one by one across the country, were never ending.  Many of them read, “how will I survive” or “what will i do with these kids?”

In today’s episode of Crayons and Tantrums Monica is sharing over 20 ideas that you can use immediately to keep your children entertained and engaged during this quarantine.  Get your pen, paper, notebook, tablet, phone or whatever you use to take notes, because there’s lots to share. You will get through this! 

Don’t forget to check in every Wednesday for a new episode. Come hang out with me on Instagram or Pinterest (@monicajsutton), so we can hold each other accountable on understanding your child’s behavior and development and how to best approach the daily ups and downs.  Chat soon!
