Bathe your child in a laundry basket so that their toys don’t float away.
Put your kids to work by turning chores into a fun game. From getting them to organize their stuffed toys all in a row to putting a pair of mismatched old socks on their hands and having them follow you wiping surfaces, anything can chores around the house give children a sense of responsibility, ownership, and boost self-esteem.
Use sprinkles to make boring foods turn into tasty ones. Not only does this add a little colour to greens, if you allow your child to do the sprinkling, it's also a lot of fun.
Create a kid-sized hammock with some fabric and a table. Just loop the fabric (you can use a bedsheet if you like) and tie a secure square knot. You child can then get into it like a regular hammock.

Don’t say: “You can’t always get what you want.” Instead say, "Yes, it does look like a fun toy, and I bet you’d really like it. Should we add it to your birthday list?"
Last but not the least, practice what you preach. If you want your child to eat all his greens, lead by example. If you want to teach him the value of time, be punctual.
