"Momong"
By: Desia Sasmito
It is a magnificient Saturday, firstday of January 2022, when I've decided to stay at home with my kids. As a mother, it is not easy to be good mood everyday. The key is when you are in bad mood, you will get angry easily. But if you are already angry, try to minimize your words. Be mad at a second is okey, mom! But not queit long.
It could be not less than 60 seconds.
The most important thing is don't try to be a super woman. You need take a rest sometimes, to keep yourbrain stay in its place. Hehe. Everytime I want to have to take a rest, I said to my kids that I need rest. So, if you still want to play just go ahead, but Mom is going to bed.
The crucial activities at home are cooking and playing. Yes, because we need food to eat and play to cheer and educate the children. I am not very good at this. Cause I take all duties at home, sometimes I forgot to ask them to play together. Sure, the kids are happy if you invite them to play with you mom.
Here, I would share some tips how to make some activities with your kids at home.
1. Play with animal.
My kids love animal. But I guess many children love them too. Time to explore more about them is very fun. Some animals that you can see at home are cat, fish, ant, caterpillar, worm, bat, turtle perhaps etc. You can start to explain how they live, how long they live, how they stay, how they eat, how they looks like, what the color they have and how the role of those animals in this World.
2. Clean the kitchen
You have to do it first for some times. They look, they see and they do. Sometimes when I have to do both playing and cooking at kitchen. I ask them to wash the dishes, sweep the floor or table using some foams to play. I know you need more concentration in the kitchen. But I am sure they will do their best to brush with ful power and laught. Some cases they like to play your pan, pot, spoon, glass etc to produce sound like a musician. Haha. But it is okey mom. Let's them play while your cooking show must go on.
3. Easy cooking
You can ask them to make their omlet. Some pepper and salt near by the frying pan. Only if your children are over five years old.
4. Coloring pages
You have to start coloring or drawing something in a paper. Accompany them for about an hour is very fun to do. Explore colors and show your drawing skill. Then combine with how to draw numbers and alphabet. Do not forget the meal, they need some meals after hour, haha.
5. Sing a long
Memorize some fun kids songs, with the move is better. Try to make them dance and jump, they love to do those. Sing, dance, and jump. Of Course it is good for your health also Mom, to keep your body stay slim and energic. Sure they like to jump, jump and jump.
So, I hope it useful to do at home together with the kids. Without any significant budget you have to spend for. Those are good idea, right!
