50 Parents Who Thought Outside The Box And Shared Their Genius Discoveries With Others (New Pics)

It's clever, but ridiculous that kids would eat something they usually don't like as long as it's branded with fairytale characters.

I wish! 🤣 But glad it works for you!

Definitely need to try Green Lantern spinach on my kids

Cute and all, marvy if it works for you. I can honestly say I never bought my son any food that was branded by Disney or whoever. He's autistic, so I had other food issues to deal with. Branding wasn't even in our personal top ten, lol.

Genius

I cut stickers in half and place them inside

Smarty face 😊

Such a good idea!

better yet, inside the shoe where the heel goes. cant be seen from the outside.

Very clever.

Great idea. Choices.

Arm and hammer toothpaste? Is that a thing? Never heard of

Ooooh melon flavor

“Honey, do you want a little, or a lot of Broccoli “?

When I first heard of the false choice idea, I thought it was such a smart idea! I wanted to try it as soon as I could . So I asked my son: what do you to wear today? Your red shirt, or the blue one? He answered with a strong : NO! 😂

Id still enjoy it honestly

I admit, I like looking at the fish when I'm shopping for my rabbit's food. Still pretty cool as going to a "mini aquarium". I also say "hi" to the birds.

I used to do this in the winter with mine. It's not just the fish - there are birds, snakes, and rodents too. He called it the zoo when he was a 2 year old. :) When they're that young just about anything is interesting. He loved Target too. Usually I bought him something from the $1 section and he was pleased as punch to play with it while I shopped.

le look "claquette-chaussette"... :D

When I was in UAE, there was a animal sale market in Sharjah, I used to take my kid every weekends. Free view and petting of Horses, goats, sheeps, cows, Camels, Deers, chickens, turkeys saved a lot of Zoo ticket money

I get my niece and nephew to eat all their food by telling them the food is "art", meant to be ADMIRED. Not eaten! Sometimes we make it into artistic shapes. Whenever I'm not looking 'burglars' eat the art. I make a big show of disappointment and panic. The plates are always clean by the end of the night :)

This would work on my competitive teenage twins. They wouldn't even care that they were being manipulated if they beat their sibling.

This is sheer brilliance....gonna steal this!!!

What about the sweetcorn challenge, first one to spot it on the way out is the winner

Brilliant!

I did something similar with my granddaughter's pink kitty that she accidently left behind after a sleepover with me. I sent photos of Kitty having her own pancake, taking a nap, playing hide & seek, helping with chores, and reading "Harold and the Purple Crayon." She loved getting them.

Occasionally I bring my lucky mascots - Mr. Cheeky Monkey and his friend Freddie Fox - to work with me. They quite happily sit on my table, and now and again the ladies I work with will find an excuse to come over and pat them on their heads.

Way to go!

AWWWWW THATS SO CUTE

We always take a toy to work trips, sometimes to work, sometimes when going for a run.

I've trained my grandkids well and my daughter loves me for this. From being tiny I've always said that while I have my first coffee that they aren't allowed to play loudly or fight and that until my cup is empty it's quiet here. One time they were 4 and 2 and at the table eating breakfast while I sat on the sofa with my coffee and they started getting louder, and all I needed to do was lift my coffee cup up and the 4 year old said urgently and quietly shh grandma is having coffee and both go quiet and eat their breakfast. My daughter started doing at home and she can usually stretch the quiet time to an hour by using an insulated mug. They've now taught the youngest that the first coffee is a quiet time and they are now 9, 7 and 3 😉

Kids understand games better than there own language..this is genius!

not enough hard, blackberry have a keyboard, make them learn T9 ! :D (writing letters with a number keyboard)

same with an old nokia but my teenager of a girl spent all day playing snake

Omg, I can have my Blackberry back. 😍

Had a Blackberry for work (security). Loved it.

I'd get a Nokia Brick to do that with. Same effect, minimal risk of them managing to destroy the "replacement" in order to get their "real" phone back.
