|
 | Avoid last minute shopping trips
by either
purchasing the next-
size-up clothing little by little as you are out
or by planning a big shopping trip a couple times per year.
|
| Teach your children how to care
for themselves.
That's out goal
as parents anyway, isn't it? Take the time to
teach them how to clean, do laundry and cook. It's their
responsibility as a member
of the family to do their part.
|
| Try to set aside 15 minutes after returning home at
the end of the day to play or talk with your children. If you
give them immediate attention, they are usually in a better mood the
rest
of the evening and not vying for your attention.
|
| Organize kids' outdoor toys by keeping a large
plastic container
on your deck or in your garage.
|
| Avoid paper messes in teen's rooms by purchasing a
plastic, portable file box. Make a
category for each school
subject and any areas of interest.
|
| Separate the toys in a child's
room by category.
For example, building toys, cuddling toys, art supplies, reading
supplies, etc.
|
| Keep an extra, stocked diaper
bag in your car(s)
for babies and toddlers. Restock it once a week. You'll
avoid the last minute rush and being caught without supplies.
|
| Have a "shoe spot" near the door for your kids.
Teach them to use
it as they enter. Avoid last-minute searching. |

Use cookie cutters to form fun
food
shapes. Kids like colorful,
fun foods. It's a great way to
introduce new food items during meals.
|
|
Keep a bag of small projects you can do
while waiting on your kids' practices. Include letters to write,
calls to make and things to read.
|
|
Pre-pour sippy cups of juice and milk
and place so kids can reach them in the fridge. Store cheese
slices, crackers, cut up fruits and cereals where kids can serve
themselves.
|
|
Keep a lidless hamper in each room
where dirty clothes and
linens accumulate. Consider rolling
hampers for kids so they can wheel them to the laundry room.
|
|
Pack a bag of "on-the-go" toys
and
books for young kids. Include special items for restaurant and
shopping distractions.
|
|
Have cassettes in the car for your
children and CDs for the adults. It's easier to switch back and
forth between music while driving.
|
|
Use kid-friendly containers for
milk,
juice and snacks. Store
at a low level so kids can serve
themselves.
|
|
Buy each child a portable file box with a handle for
their school papers and art work. Teaching them to organize and file
at an early age is a true gift. |
