This mom came up with the smartest way to keep her four young kids well-behaved in public… and it’s about so much more than just surviving the grocery store.
She created the “Compliment Game.” The goal is for her kids to earn real compliments about their manners and kindness — holding doors, helping strangers, being polite. Those compliments turn into a treat once they get home.
What I love most is the bigger picture. She’s not just managing chaos in the moment. She’s actively teaching her children how to be kind and respectful to other people, and that kind of training is going to shape them into much better adults one day.
This feels like one of those small parenting ideas that can have a lasting impact.
@user84829272 We have a few rentals. One with kids. One with dogs. One with dogs had to replace carpet. Grass is damaged. Doors are scratched and it smells like hell. Will never allow dogs after this renter.
@HilldurG@shensandsensib@GreatLakesWife_ Bahahahah this is comedy. I tried 4 plus methods for my kids, none worked. They eventually figure it out, but this nonsense of how my child slept through the night at 2 hours old (satire) is comical. Do what’s best for you and your kid. Everyone else’s advice is worthless.
@GreatLakesWife_ I tried taking care of babies with my 1st. Ten days. After ten days and having him scream every night with no progress, we stopped. I had to wear headphones. It was traumatizing for me. They do eventually learn on their own, and he now sleeps through the night. Don’t beat urself
@mormons_speak People who give to tithing, are trusting the church to do what’s right with their money. If you don’t donate, why do you care? I would rather my money go to the church then an organization who just lays their leaders a huge salary and no idea where the money goes.
