Getting the kids off the school bus (no driving required). Helping with the after-school dinner transition. Playing, engaging, and keeping routines consistent. Lots of outdoor time with the kids when the weather is nice. Our boys do best with someone who is patient, calm, and enjoys active play and being outside.
