These questions need to be answered by my daughter (mother) of my grandson. He is 4 1/2 yrs old, very active, very smart, and has several hobbies & activities to keep him entertained. He already swims great but supervision still required. Loves books, vocabulary development and musical instruments. Putting things together with his hands makes him concentrate until done. His manners are great, except when exposed to kids that dont have manners. Needs monitored closely, & NOTE: you are not there to babysit other peoples kids unless they sign a waiver.
