When you’re kids are small, it’s your responsibility to take care of them, being that they don’t have the physical or mental capabilities to do so themselves. Being a parent during that phase in their life, was easy. If you made macaroni and cheese for dinner, they loved you to the moon and back for that (cool mom for the win), but as they get older, it gets a little harder.
Once they hit the age of five to seven years of age, you have to get a little more creative in your entertaining efforts. At that age, kids enjoy coloring and things of that nature but now they’re also discovering their independence. So with them entering this new realm of self-discovery, you have to be very strategic.
