We’ve got the results here from a new survey about creative “parenting hacks.” Really, they’re less “hacks” and more just tricking their kids. But hey, whatever works, I can’t judge.
Here are 10 of the best “hacks” parents use . .
- Blending vegetables into other foods to get kids to eat them . . . like blending broccoli into ketchup or cauliflower into mac and cheese.
- Playing the “quiet game,” where the first person to talk loses.
- Bribing their kids . . . like offering candy if they finish their vegetables.
- Calling all meats “chicken.”
- Only charging the iPad to 35% to limit the kids’ time on it.
- Giving them a glass of juice that’s really half-juice, half-water.
- Telling them celery will give them superpowers.
- Telling them cavity monsters will get their teeth if they don’t brush.
- Setting their alarm to the music from their favorite video game so they wake up.
- Saying a bowl of broccoli is just for you, which makes them want it more.
