Having some trouble translating this question
¿Qué hacías mucho cuando eras niño?
It looks like it's asking "What were you doing very much when you were a child?" Is that correct? If so, I'm not sure how to answer lol. Maybe it means instead to ask about something I frequently did as a child? Like playing at a park or climbing trees or something? I thought that maybe this is one of those questions that just doesn't translate well and means something different than its direct translation.

You basically have the idea:
Remember that often in English we use would, or used to for imperfect, not just were- depending on context. Imperfect can be used for repetitive discrete actions:
What did you use to do a lot when you were a child? I used to play in the park a lot.
What would you do a lot when you were a child? I would climb trees frequently.
