Most parents want their children to be more self-sufficient. This means that your children wake up, brush their teeth, get dressed for school, and don’t mix up their left and right shoes – and the most important thing is that they do it all on their own, without assistance. Isn’t it a parent’s dream come true?

How not to spill bubble solution

Every parent has encountered this issue at some point. On the one hand, your child is enthralled by the prospect of catching bubbles.

As a result, the spilled bubble solution makes the floor extremely slippery, and your youngster is irritated about the whole situation.

How to get them to brush their teeth for two minutes

It’s difficult for children, and sometimes even for grown-ups, to know if they’ve spent enough time brushing their teeth.

Another smart idea is to find a children’s song that lasts for at least 2 minutes and turn it on every time your kid brushes their teeth.
