1. Children have an interest in drumming and singing. I started to sing traditional songs, what I could remember. they wanted to continue to use the hand drums, I started to sing some nursery rhymes until my voice started to go hoarse. I enjoyed it.
2. Hide and Seek, when the children were playing hide and seek inside, but it’s time to go outside. They don’t want to go outside because they want to keep playing, I tell them we came play hide and seek outside on the park, then the children become eager to go outside to play.

I’ve looked for other solutions, but we seem to be doing everything we can. We’ve come to terms that this child wont fall asleep so he comes out and has quiet time with the staff, books and puzzles.
