You've got it! It's a great feeling to find little ways to solve the everyday parenting challenges. Anything to keep the kids occupied and give us breathers as parents, right?
With young children, especially energetic ones, another sneaky way to **** two birds with one stone could be having them help you with menial tasks! Giving them simple chores like sorting laundry or setting the dining table makes them feel involved and gives us some extra time to prepare the next activity - or even just breathe. They feel helpful and we get some time to focus on other things, which is always a plus!
