This is a BIG shopping week,
the nativity/wrapping/party/meet-ups
are truly underway –
as well, of course as the looming C-Day.
It would be weird if there WASN’T a meltdown
somewhere along the way, so;
#1: Ninja-mum Peacemaking Tool:
The Argument Spoon.
If the children/teenagers/auntie Marge
at each others’ throats
OR agreement can’t be reached about a day out
how much to spend
what to buy
or (at family get-togethers) what game to play…
INTRODUCING – Ta-daaaaaa!
THE ARGUMENT SPOON.
Put simply – whoever is holding the spoon
gets to speak uninterrupted.
When they have finished speaking it’s passed
on to whoever has their hand up next.
Devilishly simple and crazy-arsed effective
way to stop the shouting
and get people to listen to each other.
Try it.
n.b You can do it with a hat, but I find certain family
members will not join in
as it is “Silly”, apparently…
On the contrary – I find it almost impossible
to argue with anyone at all when I am wearing this hat.
But short and sweet – and devastatingly effective.
Choose an old wooden spoon.
Decorate it.
And watch your children (and cantankerous adults)
self-police
And if all this Christmas marlarkey is playing havoc with your sleep.
I’ve recorded a hypnosis… not like the powernap (not meant to recharge you)
but meant to send you out like a light and keep you there.
Enough sleep is the difference between losing the plot
and effortlessly employing the Argument Spoon whilst wafting about like an in-control Princess…
If you’re still up give it a go.
And if you were already in the land of nod – try it tonight.
Lots of Love
