Shhhhhh…
Our kids are being super duper quiet.
Nah, we’re just messing with you, our kids are never quiet. So we asked our community on Facebook, what gets your kid to be quiet? We’ve got over 450 ideas for quiet things that kids enjoy doing, here are some of them: from farting ninja warriors to ripping things to pieces alone in the corner!
Keilah Joyce Davis: My son like to silently sneak around the house targeting me or his sissy, fart on us and run away yelling ninja attack… he’s four and his dad can’t imagine how life gets any better.
Mary Mae Shepard: My kids are only quiet when they’re breaking into the pantry to steal sweets or sneaking into my room to swipe a phone or tablet to watch You Tube. The silence means trouble.
Christine Edwards-Stepien: Sleep or read…. Wait a minute. They talk nonstop in their sleep and tell me every 2 sentences what it happening in their books. Nope, my kids are never quiet.
Maria Arellano: TV for a little while and when he’s chewing he’s quiet. Also, when he’s sneaking in the kitchen to get candy….that sums it up.
Sara Pearl Tiffany VanEngers: Tear stuff up in the corner, quiet as he can be. Then i see him, take what hes torn up and all hell breaks loose.
Aneta Robin: She loves to hide in my room playing with my makeup that she knows she’s not aloud to touch.
Haydn Drew: He likes to linger in the shadows, like Batman…
Jason M Davies: Color or build Batman LEGO cars. It’s important for him to have his quiet moments, to reflect. Although it don’t happen as much as I would like!
Sonny Sköld: Playing bingo games or watching the washing machine (yes, he loves it, he drags his chair into the bathroom and literally just sits there fascinated).
Timothy Sullivan: He likes to wake up between 3 and 4 am, stand by my bed, and watch me and my wife sleep until we wake up.
Andrea Martin-Ruiz: Stand and look at the cover art on movie cases. hes a year n a half so he also likes to take out the cover art and tear it up.
Michael Leo Proulx: I have 3 boys, ages 10,8 and 3… I don’t know what quiet is.
