I always have the following top 5 ‘bribe’ items at home to avert a meltdown from my 2 gals :
1) Slice cheese or Laughing Cow cheese (all time favorite) 2) Pine nuts 3) Yoghurt 4) Biscuits or crackers 5) Barney DVDs, High 5 DVDs and karaoke nursery rhymes DVDs.
The trick is I cannot give these items to the gals sparingly. They have to earn their reward by behaving well and most times, I succeed in thwarting those dreaded meltdowns.
I’m a 50+ mum of three grown daughters, now back in my beautiful hometown of Ipoh and slowly rebuilding a quieter, gentler life. After years between Ipoh and KL, I’ve returned to my roots to spend time with my parents in their 80s, my soul-healing cat, and the simple things that matter most. I blog and vlog about family life, home cooking, Ipoh food finds, and everyday moments that make this season of life meaningful.
I do product reviews and accept sponsored posts on my blogs.
I hope you'll enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoy sharing my day-to-day adventures and mostly boring ranting :P
Thanks for being here. 💛

Shireen… if there’s going to be a meltdown just b4 meal times, i wont give them those food. If distraction fails, i’ll put on a DVD for them to watch and normally that helps.

Ha,ha…for Jona, definitely food bribe won’t work for him….but, nursery rhymes do..
Sounds like a good idea, bt what happens if its nearing their mealtimes? Do you still give them the “food bribes”?
