LORI asked:


I am going to be babysitting my 11 month old niece for the next few weeks. My kids are a lot older and I’ve kinda forgotten what to do with babies this age. What are some good games to play or ways to pass the time? I’ll be watching her all day 8 AM to 6 PM so I have a lot of time to fill. She can walk and talk a little and is verrrrry energetic, if that helps.
Thanks!

Jane

She has no idea how to use the mouse at all, so I’m looking for games that will help her learn how to navigate the screen and get the hang of the mouse. So they just need to be engaging and have lots of stuff to click on. Any other suggestions for helping her learn to use the mouse? A friend told me the best way is to just let her go at it on her own, that trying to help her move the mouse around will only confuse her. Any subject matter is good, simple games, etc.
Okay, you people are taking this way, way too seriously. First of all, we don’t have cable or any other kind of TV set up to get any channels. She doesn’t watch TV. I never said I was looking for something to babysit her for hours so I can file my nails or yak on the phone. She likes to sit with me when I’m working on the computer and is interested in some of the games on the PBS kis website–but I don’t want her to practice with the mouse on the internet, as I don’t want her accidentally messing anything up. I see no problem developmentally or otherwise with sitting with her on my lap and letting her use the mouse while we play a children’s computer game together. It isn’t mindless if we are conversing and interacting, if she isn’t left alone with the game, and if she is being prompted to figure things out, etc. In a way, it’s no different than when I read to her and ask her questions about the story or pictures, let her fill in parts she knows. Just more stuff to do in a game.
