What are some ways to entertain a small child?
Ok CP, so next week I am meeting my girlfriend's 5 year old daughter for the first time. It's very important to me that we get along because I reaaaaally like my girlfriend, but this would obviously be a dealbreaker if I don't get along with her kid. Aside from "turn around and run immediately", I'm looking for any kind of advice to hit it off with the kid. Dad is out of the picture and grandpa is dead so she's never had any sort of male figure in her life.

My girlfriend says to "just be yourself" but I dunno WTF that means. I'm never around any kids so I don't know what they find funny or entertaining. Should I bring gifts? Do kids still like the "pull a quarter out of the ear" trick? I loved that when I was a kid but is there anything else? Has the game been upped since that trick came along? Any funny jokes kids that age like?


Heeeeeelp me.

Accuse her of being 6 or 7. Kids want few things more than to be a little bit older.

Just bring plenty of candy in the van.

Honestly, your girlfriends advice is probably pretty good. Just relax and don't make a huge deal out of it

Ask the girlfriend what the kids into, then bring something pertaining to that, or at least start a conversation with her about it.

As has been mentioned, kids can spot a fake. Just be sincere in whatever you do.

I have 4 kids myself, including 7 and 4 year olds. I think children awesome.

Also, NOTHING will tickle mom more than her daughter liking you. Get in good with the kid and mom will be wrapped around your finger.

Make your time together with her all about her. Listen with genuine interest. Smile and kneel down to make eye contact and greet her on her level. Do not try to lift her up, and respect personal space.

Heeeeeelp me.
Talk to her, and talk to her in a way that makes it seems like you are on her level. Don't look at her as a little kid, look at her as a young lady. Ask her mom what she likes. That way you can ask her about said things.

I have a daughter that doesn't live with me. I went through this. PM me if you want some more advice.

Depends on the kid's personality. If she is extroverted, just try to follow her lead.

Introvert? Ask mom in advance what she likes to do. You might stop by Toys R us or target and pick up a board game or two for her age group (and play it with her, of course). Kids appreciate it when you put the time and effort into interacting with them.
