It's easy for parents, nannies and kids to get cabin fever when stuck inside all day. Plan some indoor games and activities to help make the time fly by when you're cooped up.
Indoor activities don’t have to be boring – they can be great fun, being anything from big and elaborate to small and quiet. If the weather is keeping everyone indoors, turn on some music and dance out your irritability. Alternatively, if you need to turn the energy level down, make a nest of blankets and pillows on the floor and have a story time.
