How to get your kids to be good while shopping!


This is a tough one! but here are some things that I do to help ease the stress and keep them occupied for at least some of the time. Click on comments and Please add your ideas

1. Pack their lunch in a cute little lunch box and have them nibble on it in the shopping cart!(I know shopping carts are dirty!, but it is not like they don't end up with their mouths on them anyway!)

2. Let them bring their own toy shopping cart and let them put a few small items in it or a toy stroller with a baby doll in it. (this can keep my kids good for quite a while, because they feel so included and big!)

3. I carry magnets in my purse that they can stick to the shopping cart and play with.

4. And of course I know we all do this....Bribery works when all else fails!
