And so I think like actually kind of take the opposite of how far can we push bringing fun,

playful things into the home while obviously being like sustainable to the home and not just

making you're destroying everything.

What's up guys? Jeff and Jeremy here, another episode of five minute fatherhood.

Fun couple things. If you're watching this on YouTube,

which by the way,

if you're not,

we are on YouTube every single episode. We absolutely love it. It's fun if you want to subscribe and check us out on there. Sometimes we hold up things or use things or it's just fun to watch on video. But if you are watching, you'll notice a little different set from Jeremy. I think he said we had some, what furnace problems in the studio.

So the next five to ten episodes

will look like this awesome aesthetically vibe

in brick wall behind Jeremy, which is kind of fun. And then also kind of, I wouldn't call this a repeat episode, but a deviation of an episode we've done in the past that you guys liked. And this one is five ways to help your kids burn energy in the winter. We've done an episode talking about embracing winter as a family team and you guys really love that. So we wanted to focus one layer down of, okay, well, what about high energy kids specifically? What about when kind of the house gets pent up? And so we're just going to rattle off five really quick ones. And the first one is exercise as a family. This is a big one. We like to do something like this. Jeremy, I'd love to

hear how you guys do this with older kids. But for us with toddlers, it really just means like do anything that's active. So chase the kids around the house. That's a game we actually play. We're all actually basically kind of just like read them. I think they call it like Mad Duck or something like that, which is this game that their grandpa taught them, which basically just run around and chase each other and that is our version of exercise when you're toddlers or I'll

actually do this little app, like the Nike app on the iPad, which is a really fun one where I'll

actually try to incorporate. We do it in the garage and incorporate the kids to like, hey, do it with me, do the pushups,

do the crunches, all that stuff. And that's a really fun one. And I noticed that really helps. Even though I will say, by the way, granted, you know, we do live in Maui so we don't have that like struggle as much with winter. It's just more just struggle with toddlerhood, which is its own winter. Winter is coming. Toddlers have came. But yeah, Jeremy, what would you say? Yeah, another one, you guys, is that there are all these new kind of video game platforms that

require movement. They use balls, they kind of use that kind of kinetic energy. Oh yeah. And those can be a lot of fun as a family. And so finding a couple of games that your family likes, that can be some of the dance games are this way. But there's a lot of other ones that are constantly coming out. It's one of the great things about some of the modern video game consoles that really do a lot more sort of action. So that could be another thing that you invest in during the winter to burn off some of the energy. Yes. Another one is inside playhouse or like trampoline park. So we actually have one here on Maui. If you ever come to Maui, Ultimate Air, we love Ultimate Air.

John, if you're watching, you're the man, good friend, own and operate and run that thing.

And it's just like the cleanest, the nicest, the best one.

And our kids absolutely love it.

I mean, I love it, right? It's one of those ones where I kind of want to go because I want to jump and I want to absolutely blow up 10 year olds in the dodgeball arena. And it's so fun. But yeah, that's a really, really good one. And I think there's nothing better. I don't know many places in like the warehouses are like kind of trampoline parks that are like the best psychologically for just like containment of toddlers where you can visually see them, but you kind of know they're in a building. That alone is worth it. Like when I really need peace of mind or just want to just be like let them kind of go without having to micromanage them or make sure they don't die, that's a great place. Yeah, I would say another one of you guys is wrestling with your kids. There's so much evidence that this is really, really helpful for bonding. It's not just for energy. There's a lot of, so if you're resistant to this or, you know, you haven't really thought about this, I'd encourage you guys, especially in the winter, maybe set up a room in your house, like padded a little bit more and make it a fun thing for you and your kids just kind of wrestle around on the floor and really enjoy that time. And to make it a time is really

kind of a cool idea, especially like again in the winter, trying to burn energy. Don't get them all

riled up right before you put them to bed. This is something that's kind of good to do a couple
