Illinoismom Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 I know I always think of ways to keep my children involved, So here are a few things Ive done, Ever have problems Potty training, when my son was 2.5 almost 3 he wouldnt want to use the potty and he was old enough and knew what to do, So I asked him what he wanted for Christmas and he had this huge list of Big boy toys, Well my mind went in to gear and I called his Grandpa who lives in an other state and explained to Santa that unless he became a big boy that he couldnt have any of those toys he wanted and he needed baby toy's, Well Santa talked to him and in a matter of a week it was good by diapers and and when he went to sit on Santa's lap he told him I am a big boy now so dont forget no baby toy's. Another thing I have done is it gets harder for the little ones to keep their rooms clean so I bought 2.5 foot trees and told them if they cleaned the rooms and kept them clean they could have them for their rooms and pick out any mini ornaments that they want for their tree, so for 2.87 for the tree and .88 for the lights I know have two clean kids rooms. Ohhhh The power of Santa and Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
