Answer 2

Your focus should be on both of them, not just the baby, but what you can do is set her at the table with something fun like crayons or clay while you're tending to the baby. You hvae to balance both the kids, and a 6 year old and a 2.5 year old can play well together if you have the patience to play WITH them..

Answer 3

Get the 6 year old busy with coloring and drawing, if he can stay with it and a movie doesn't work. Take both of them for a walk, as long as you can secure the little one. Lock all of you in the bathroom and let the 6 year old play in the bathtub while playing with the little one. block off the kitchen doors and let the 2 year old play in the pan draw while you have the 6 year old make cookie or play in the sink with dishes.

Answer 4

whatever you do with the 6year old do with the 2 year old believe me it's not to early for the 2 year old to learn.read to them together,give them a bath together,nap time together,put on a movie they both like believe me it's not that hard i've been taking care of children for a long time believe me i know call me SUPER NANNY lol
