No one finds parenting an easy task. You’re trying to keep the kids safe, clean and entertained…and it can be exhausting!
Mums, prepare to make your home life a lot easier with this popular YouTube hacks video.
The video is just 17 minutes long, but covers a whole scope of categories from child-proofing your house, to creative activities to quick and easy treats you can make with your kids.
One tip for making your house safer for kids is to make a slit along a tennis ball and pop them on the corners of tables to prevent kids from bumping their heads.
To keep children (and their surroundings) clean, the video suggests making an apron out of a bin bag for times when they’re painting or engaging in any kind of messy play and for meal times it recommends adding suctions to the base of bowls to prevent them from being pushed around the table and spilling – genius!
There’s also a variety of suggestions to make chores seem a bit more fun, like making children a folding board out of cardboard to keep clothes neat and a clock with different coloured sections that mark out when homework, play, dinner, bath and bedtime will take place. This should give children a sense of order and routine.
And there’s plenty more in there, mums. From fun experiments to tasty treats kids will love. And with mid-term just around the corner, these hacks could come in very handy.
