While a variable is greater than zero, how do I activate 2 definitions at once?

import time

health = 100
kidsHP = 10

def kidsenemyattack():
    global health
    print('The enemy deals damage!')
    health -= 4
    print(health)
    print('==========')
    time.sleep(3)
    kidsenemyattack()

def kidfight():
    global kidsHP
    ready = input('You can attack!')
    if ready in ['1','one','One']:
        kidsHP -= 1
    time.sleep(2.5)

 while health > 0:
            kidsenemyattack() and kidfight()
        if kidsHP <= 0:
            print('You've defeated the evil kids")

Instead of both of the definitions doing what I want (Which is draining my health over time and informing me that I can attack) kidsenemyattack() just overrides kidfight() and vice versa. I want both of them to be able to be do their functions without one overriding the other.

You're executing kidsenemyattack recursively in the function definition. Remove it from there and logically the code will make sense. There were some formatting issues I had to fix too before the code ran. Here's a working example:

import time

health = 100
kidsHP = 10

def kidsenemyattack():
    global health
    print('The enemy deals damage!')
    health -= 4
    print(health)
    print('==========')
    time.sleep(3)
    # kidsenemyattack() <- this is causing your repeating issue

def kidfight():
    global kidsHP
    ready = input('You can attack!')
    if ready in ['1','one','One']:
        kidsHP -= 1
    time.sleep(2.5)

while health > 0:
    kidsenemyattack()
    kidfight()
    if kidsHP <= 0:
      print("Youve defeated the evil kids")
      exit(0)
      
print("Youre defeated")

Running it resulted in a working scenario:

$ python kidsf.py
