What works

I have determined that three things work to keep N occupied and out of trouble.
1. Videos
2. Leapster - he likes star wars math
3. Puzzles

Other than that, one on one attention where he gets to do whatever he likes works too. When I or the hubby have the time, we can take him to the book store or the science center or out on a date for lunch, etc... Staying at home with him doesn't usually work, because then he insists on watching videos and arguing over it just isn't worth it. The playground sometimes works, but usually he wants to do something that he is not ready for and he gets frustrated trying to do it over and over again. You have to give him credit for persistence!

What works for your kid(s)? I'd love suggestions.
