Have you ever given a child a coupon for your time?? Everyone knows how well hand-made coupons from a child go over so well with us as parents. They are special and we love to cash them in for a chore or helpful hand in a project!
I’m thinking I want to put a new twist on the idea. How about giving your children coupons from you as the parent?? My daughter has been going through a “sassy” phase lately and I’m sensing some “mommy” time is needed. Wouldn’t it be fun for her to get a coupon from me in her lunchbox to cash in to me whenever she wanted? It could be for a game, to read a book to her, or how about some space?? She could win the right to not be asked questions and just given some time to “chill” and sort things out if that is what she wishes?
It could be really fun to run with this idea. You could make up coupons for them to cash in to skip a chore, or to leave their bed unmade for a day. We all deserve a break sometimes…even kids.
