Nothing is entertaining my son at home. We go out every day so he’s not bored at home but this last week he’s just not interested in anything except for making me stand with him everywhere he goes.

I’m recently a SAHM and I thought with the extra time I am having with my 3 year old I could start to teach him some things like counting, colours, writing etc but more in depth than what he can already do .
