TIP - How to Have Quiet Kids at the Grocery Store

Okay, the other day, I took my seven year old and 2 year old to the grocery store. As you know, these trips could turn out to be very stressful.

My latest try seem to be working so I pass on to you:

Lollipops - I gave each of them a long-lasting lollipop that they both LOVE and don't get often. I kept my eye on the lollipops and ended the shopping trip when it looked like the lollipops were licked down to the stick. I checked out, they were done with their lollipops, and I just wiped up their mouths with some wet wipes before getting into the car. It was a great trip!

So far, I tried it twice and it worked like a charm. Hope it works for you!

What better way to keep the kids quiet than to have lollipops in their mouths!!! : )

Gotta love a bribe. Good for you. I'm a mother of two, as well, as is my sister, whose words of non-judgmental wisdom often cross my mind when I pull a lollipop-esque trick myself:

"I did my 'best' parenting before I had kids," she says.

I know I had the whole soft-focus thing down pat before the young-ins actually arrived on the scene.

Nice to come across you. Feel free to check my site for kids out anytime:

Elizabeth, cool website you have there! I agree with your sister - I think I did my best parenting before I had kids too!

Taylor, "sanity" is a relative term....

ML, it also helps from asking or reaching for candy at the store.

Love your website. As a mom of three little ones, I definitely appreciate this lollipop in the grocery store tip.

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease four years ago. For over two years, I relied on Levodopa and several other medications, but unfortunately, the symptoms kept getting worse. The tremors became more noticeable, and my balance and mobility started to decline quickly. Last year, out of desperation and hope, I decided to try a herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic.
Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, I began to notice real changes. My movements became smoother, the tremors subsided, and I felt steadier on my feet. Incredibly, I also regained much of my energy and confidence. It’s been a life-changing experience I feel more like myself again, better than I’ve felt in years.If you or a loved one is struggling with Parkinson’s disease, I truly recommend looking into their natural approach.
