Babysitting kid that is hiper?

Question

soo im babysitting a 6 year old boy and he is like REALLY hiper and i need to find a quite activity, that is entertaining and not letting him out of my sight any opinions????

Answer 1

When I babysit my 4 year old niece I just try to do things that she would like with her. I also do things to stimulate her brain. She loves learning. Last time she came over we worked on her french.

Just pay attention to him and do things with him.

Answer 2

Kids that age usually like Legos.  If he won't sit down and entertain himself for long with them, you could sit down and build together.  You could make up stories about what you're building, have him tell you about what he's building, etc.

Answer 3

my son is 6, not quite hyperactive but still very demanding. Do you know what this little boy is into? My recommendation is to bring a shoe box and some paint. Most likely at his age he's into fighting, army, soldiers etc.  Sit with him and make a fortress or castle out of the shoe box, get him to draw the windows, help you cut them out, paint the box, make a draw bridge etc...I bet he will love it. Another option is to bring a load of paper and make a book, you write the story of his favourite subject and get him to draw the corresponding pictures. My son loves these activities and they are the one thing that makes him totally focuses and quieten down

Answer 4

Well my brother's nearly six and very hyper. But he will sit quietly with lego or video games- but I don't advise this becoz i dont think six year olds should be on these. He also likes drawing and painting and watching DVD's.
