If this is the wrong forum, please move. I always have a hard time placing my posts esp with all the "child" forums I don't even know exist usually!
What are some things that you do now that occurred to you suddenly (or that you saw someone else do, or asked about ) that you were like :doh "Why didn't I think of that!!??
Mine is all stuff that is probably so normal for most people, but for me, they were real lightbulb moments.
I thought of a couple recently.
When DD was two, we had a hard time with her finishing eating and then running immediately to the couch with messy hands and face and doing whatever. I was :scratch over this. It never occurred to me to teach her to ask to be excused from the table!
Another, and this goes with my messy-mentality- have the children pick up the bath toys before we drain the tub. :doh
And last but not least, have the kids....get ready, this is a good one..... sit down at the table before I serve them a snack! This is my most recent one, like, um, a couple days ago. :blush
