Mixing vegetables together when making a smoothie with fruit can mean that your child is getting their five-a-day, without the need for any dramatics or confrontation.
Rather than argue the point, simply distract your child with something they are allowed. This could be the favourite toy, or a book they enjoy. You’ll find that the looming tantrum is now long forgotten.

So, if you have pressing work issues, then why not employ the services of a nanny or babysitter to lighten the load and give yourself some well-earned ‘you time’.
Simply mix one-part dishwashing detergent with two parts hydrogen peroxide for a stain remover that can deal with even the most ground in stains.
Now a child can match up the picture to determine that they are putting their shoes on in the right way.
