Amanda • Streamlining Modern Parenting

I have 3 kids and that means one of my kids (or two!) are always watching a sibling’s sports game or practice…

⚽️ After many frustrating games where I can’t even watch that game because I’m entertaining the siblings, I’ve learned I need to keep the “Sideline Siblings” BUSY!

🎾 When the two kids who aren’t playing the sport (the Sideline Siblings) are entertained (and fed) then that means I can focus on the game that’s being played. But if those Sideline Siblings are not comfortable and busy, then that means my focus is on them…

🖍️ Now when I go to a game with Sideline Siblings, I make sure to pack a variety of items for them like:

-coloring books
-fidget toys
-sticker books
-books to read
-homework supplies so they can do their homework
-picnic blanket to sit on
-layers of clothes
-hats
-sunscreen

🥨 And, I always pack water and food - a hangry Sideline Sibling can be a very disruptive sibling🤪

⭐️Comment GAME and I’ll send you an Amazon list of my favorite things that help my Sideline Siblings!

❤️, Amanda, your Type A Mom friend
