From the creators of 9 Tips to Make Your Kid Sleep Without the Whole Thing Becoming a Drama arrives How to Make Your Kid Get Up Early Without Anyone Crying (Much). We know, we know, it sounds like Sci-Fi. Every time your alarm goes off, you just feel like snoozing forever, but you can’t. You mustn’t. You must get up and deal with… THE KID. Or even THE KIDS.

School is clearly a topic we like. We already talked about going back to school and about how to deal with your kid when they don’t want to do their homework. This time, we just want to point out some differences between what going to school nowadays is like, as opposed to going to school when we were kids. (more…)
Asking a kid to set the table for lunch is usually a total pain. So much so that many times we end up doing it ourselves. Huge mistake. If our toddler/kid sees us do chores we had initially asked them to do, they’ll think they can get away with not helping at home!

Do you remember reading (or rather pretending to read) your favourite stories when you were a little kid? Or begging your parents to read you (just once more!) your favourite book?

And it was indeed a great idea, because it’s actually super easy to make, and it will make your kid feel like the ultimate space explorer! (more…)

You struggle with sending your kid to sleep every day? You are not alone. At all. Personal experience moment: before having a kid, I used to look at my cat sleep and think “so boring… my cat is always sleeping, I want to play with him”. Now I have a child and I just wish he were a bit more like my dear cat.
Anyway, let’s start off with the basics… (more…)
As we’ve said before, kids like to express their most creative selves in many different ways. Some of them are OK, some of them are a bit of a pain in the neck inconvenient, like painting on walls.
