From once a week screen time , my kids got twice , thrice and then they negotiated everyday. &nbsp;<br>It got so much into my head that I knew I had to get more creative .<br>Having two boys is a blessing . (Let me put it this way having children is a blessing whether you have 2 sons , 2 daughters , one daughter and a son) .&nbsp; Siblings are fun and so you can ideate games that can keep them busy. &nbsp;<br>Since I believe in personal sharing. This article will definitely help you if you are a parent to two boys. &nbsp;<br>So when I intuitively realised we might get into another lockdown. I started preparing things my kids would do this year at home. &nbsp;<br><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">Boys are genetically programmed to be energetic and active . Their brain is wired for aggression.&nbsp; Banning a toy weapon failed at my home &nbsp;because they were &nbsp;using their hands , fingers to make a gun and would play all day. &nbsp;My home is loaded with Indian &amp; Western Super Heroes. &nbsp;<br>As a mother to two  boys , I am of the opinion we have two jobs .<br>One is to appreciate and reinforce the delightful qualities of boys . Another is to transform the not so delightful characteristics of boys. <\/span><\/strong>&nbsp;(Which is not easy , me and my husband are still work in progress. Will share tried and tested techniques . please subscribe to #queensbrigade to stay updated )<br><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">Now their brain needs challenge and excitement. We have to find ways for our boys to feel challenged .<\/span><\/strong><br>School homework or sitting jobs don&#8217;t challenge them. <strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">They need more physical games , competition that drives them to greater confidence.<\/span><\/strong><br>So I decided to order a few things for both my sons that would excite them and physically keep them active. &nbsp;<br><strong>My boys of 3 years and 5 years love monkey bar .<\/strong> And the love for monkey bar continues this year too.&nbsp; We love the feel and grip of this one that we &nbsp;bought from amazon . It&#8217;s sturdy and amazing. &nbsp;<br>Link mentioned.<br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.in\/dp\/B07DY3BXS5?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.amazon.in\/dp\/B07DY3BXS5?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">Since climbing helps children develop problem solving techniques, they &nbsp;learn to fight their fears and push their boundaries.&nbsp; I decided to add a colourful ladder in their bedroom<\/span>.<\/strong> Since my boys love colors . I installed a colourful one &nbsp;.<br>You can install a ladder vertically or horizontally depending on the space.&nbsp; Make sure to put some mats if the surface is hard .&nbsp;In case this inspires you , you can buy from the link mentioned&nbsp;below.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-amazon-kindle wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-amazon\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"ABC KIDS WORLD Wooden Ladder for Kids for Physical Activity (7 Wooden Round Sticks with S Hook) | Indoor &amp; Outdoor Toy for 4 to 10 Years Kids\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"640\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.in\/kp\/card?preview=inline&#038;linkCode=kpd&#038;ref_=k4w_oembed_qCONxJQViChCiI&#038;asin=B079G43PCB&#038;tag=kpembed-20\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">I bought a single rope too and hung on the monkey bar .<\/span><\/strong><br>Building a rope and wooden ladder &nbsp;has definitely reduced their aggression , screen time . Since they are jumping and climbing all day ,they get tired and sleep on time.<br><em><strong>If you have a hyperactive child&nbsp; , let him fly and hang around on the single rope ( link mentioned below)<\/strong><\/em><br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.in\/dp\/B07FP1W32W?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.amazon.in\/dp\/B07FP1W32W?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My little one who is 3 year old is learning alphabets and spills food everywhere in the room . So we decided to buy a big double sided waterproof mat that has alphabets mentioned on them .<br>My husband and boys converted that into a hopscotch game.&nbsp; They also love playing &#8220;Simon says jump on letter &#8230;. fruit . . &nbsp;&#8221; which keeps them entertained for 30 mins. &nbsp;<br>This mat is also wonderful for babies as young as 6 months .&nbsp; To play this game with your child order this washable double sided mat&nbsp; from amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"196\" height=\"196\" src=\"https:\/\/queensbrigade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/images.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/queensbrigade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/images.jpg 196w, https:\/\/queensbrigade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/images-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 196px) 100vw, 196px\" \/><figcaption><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.in\/dp\/B07Z1DS1RK?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.amazon.in\/dp\/B07Z1DS1RK?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Both my boys love to scribble on the wall , while last year I dedicated one wall for them to paint and make a mess . This year I ordered a blackboard wall paper for them in their room . Now it also acts as a place where we do our homeschooling from. We do roleplays . There are days when my kids become teachers and make me understand concepts , and there are days when I actually take their classes in the ways where they have fun.
