If you’ve ever tried to nap while parenting preschoolers, you know it’s almost impossible. You lay down, close your eyes… and immediately someone needs a snack, a shoe tied, or just wants to know if ants sleep.
But one mom found a genius hack. She tells her kids, “Mom’s going to take a nap for 20 minutes. If you wake me up before the timer goes off, we’re going to start cleaning the house.”
And just like that, her kids play quietly until the timer beeps.
Honestly, I wish I’d thought of that when our boys were little. Genius!
