I have a toddler and a 10 year old. This winter is proving really hard on bad-weather days when we're all together in the house. I just can't seem to find things that they both enjoy, and if they've nothing to do they wind each other up with chasing & wrestling games that end in tears. I often end up segregating them but since the youngest can't be left unsupervised, this usually means the eldest in their bedroom while the youngest is with me... which understandably feels a bit like a punishment & lonely for the eldest one (which is particularly unfair since the toddler is the main troublemaker!)
Does anyone else have age-gap kids and how do you keep them entertained at home?
