Keeping a child entertained, even if it's for a short while

--by computergirl00, posted Dec 9, 2006

I was in my local library when I sat down at a computer. Behind me was a young woman with a little boy about 4 years old. I noticed he was starting to get bored as his mommy worked on the computer. I usually keep small sample items in my purse and give things to kids, sometimes it's in waiting rooms at doctor's offices, or train stations, airports, etc. (My children are grown so I remember how it was). So I reached in my purse and pulled out an extra child's sticker book with stickers. I asked the mom if I could give it to him she glady said "yes" and how happy it made this young child!

Thanks for letting me share my small story!
