Having a bag of tricks is a creative and fun way to manage those tricky parenting moments! It's like having a secret weapon up your sleeve. I also like the activity board idea for some indoor peace and quiet.
My go-to life hack is keeping a stock of washable, non-toxic finger paints in the pantry. When the kids are antsy or fidgety, especially on rainy days, I break out the paints and let them go wild on the kitchen table. It's a surefire way to keep them occupied while keeping the mess contained, and the cleanup is easy too - win-win!
I also agree with the food adventures theme. Making meal times exciting encourages picky eaters to explore new tastes and textures. Adding an element of playfulness to mealtimes can make a huge difference!
What other little hacks do you guys use to keep your sanity intact?
