The mindset "I GET to do..." trick especially helps me with laundry and dishes. I get to do laundry because my family is blessed with clothes to wear. I get to do dishes because we are blessed with food to eat. I read long ago about a woman who was always angry about her husband's laundry on the floor, and then he passed away and she realized she missed picking up after him. The mess often means that we have people around us that we love and are able to serve.

Homework hack: my son hates school work. So we do the homework and then I tell him let's play you are the teacher and then he teaches me how to do things. Then I also often pretend to be the uninterested naughty student, and he has to try and get me to listen and stay focused. He loves this part and we laugh another! He also gets to 'sign off my work'. Getting him to teach me seems to have worked really well.

There is nothing unethical about trying to help your child with something they dislike that much.
I think you’re brilliant for coming up with it!

The sheet and mattress protector one is genius! Never thought about it!!!

[ladydrone]

The mindset adjustment can be paid forward too. At the end of the day when all my kids' toys needed put away l would ask them, "Would you like me to help you pick up?". lt taught them: 1/ Picking up was their responsibility, and 2/ lt's nice to offer help to each other.

I love the nail cutting when they are asleep my daughters and Granddaughter do it this way as well ! It’s a great idea !

[kasiowelove]

I’m not a Mum yet but I have a special playlist on which I save videos like this for the future. Such great hacks, thank you Emily!

[ardin]

I literally can't understand how cutting your own child's nails in a way that reduces their stress is unethical? 🤦🏼‍♀️ Really? ... I think it's genius. I have 4 boys Emily.. and have been following you since I was pregnant with my 4th (Jake) he's just a little younger than Jackson. Reading to eachother is amazing! It's creates just a bond. Thanks for your amazing videos xx

A couple things happened unintentionally that aren’t “hacks” I guess but could be - we are always complimenting each other and it’s rubbed off on my 4yr old such that he openly tells me if he really likes a dress I am wearing or new sunglasses. It really warms my heart and I realised it’s because we tell him how much we like his things and each other! Similarly, our tot has somehow picked up gratitude! He is thankful for things and even small things he tells us he is thankful we could do it or that we gave something to him. It’s wonderful 💜💜💜

[kerryharding]

Love that you bounce with the boys Emily 🧡 It’s a great time to chat or be silly together. It sounds like the modern equivalent of putting on a baseball mitt and playing catch together. The boys will definitely remember these times with mum fondly. Have a great week 🕊🧡

Squirt of mum’s perfume is really comforting on a cotton hankie in your child’s pocket when they’re having a wobble going to school. They can have a sniff without anyone knowing x

[kathywilson]

Always kept a sweet in the first aid bag too. It’s amazing how one helps to take their mind off a bump or a graze!

[charlibyrd]

My child was just sick and we did the fluid challenge I saw on your channel. She is three and actually said “mom I think I need more liquid.” It helped us get her rehydrated and avoid the hospital, which is so full in our area due to Covid.

[Untber]

Thank you. Watching this actually makes me feel a little bit better about learning to find ways to manage as a mum especially with more than one. I’ve just had my first and I’ve been feeling so overwhelmed, I didn’t think I would manage with more than one. Videos like these just make me feel so much more confident and motivated to find ways to organise myself for the years ahead. Honestly, thank you.

[Louisepentland]

I love the concept of a 'non negotiable' thing a day <3 xxx

[janehouck]

You seem like a great mom. Good bless you and your family 🙏❤️

[ummuharith]

Thanks Emilly....I have a hack that I use during school days...the night before I take a tray and I put all the stuff they need to use for breakfast e.g. bowls, spoons, cereals, vitamins, my te cup and teabag, etc...so in the morning I don't need to run around the kitchen to get the stuff...this saves me a lot of time as I have 2 children and one who is 12 has autism...

[SugarMamma]

Just added a new member to my family so these tips are going to be a lifesaver! Sometimes it's so easy to feel overwhelmed but litle changes and hacks are gonna make all the difference!

[lowrishepherd]
