Boys are easier than girls for sure. My best advice...keep them away from TV, tablets and smartphones as much as you can. It's difficult because when you turn a kids show on, they become hypnotized (and quiet) and it will give you a break. We just had twin boys (#3 and 4) and we are planning on making them play outside as much as possible.

Don't hover. Let your kids make mistakes as long is it won't permanently damage them. People learn from mistakes.

You see so many nowadays that are just zombies on their phones. That's something I worry about.

This is impossible. Parents aren't always available to entertain their kids and a half hour on a tablet won't kill them...but that's a nice fantasy world you're living in.
