Secret Tip – How To Get Your Child To Fall Asleep in 5 Minutes

What if I told you there may be a way to easily get your child to fall asleep after a few minutes? Would you want to hear more?

Are you one of the unfortunate parents that has a child that struggles when it comes to sleepy time?

My son, was always easy. Put him to bed, read him a story and as if by magic he’d drift off. Sweet.

My daughter, aged 5, has always been difficult. She tries everything to stay up and now, I think I have heard every excuse possible.

Like: I need a drink

I’m hungry

I’m not tired

Can you read me another story?

What’s this? (Comes downstairs holding a tampon!)

I’ve broken this! (Holding my phone charger!)

Then there’s the mood swings.

This Involves : Stamping (Sounds Like an Elephant herd)

Door slamming

Throwing things (Sometimes downstairs)

etc, etc, etc…

Yes, it’s difficult.

Then, I saw this...........

I know what you are gonna say.

“HOLD ON! That’s a baby!”

But what if the same technique worked on older children?

Worth a go, no?

So one night, when the girl was kicking off about goodness knows what I though I’d try this sleeping techers (Not a spelling mistake, it’s urban for technique).

However, would it work?

I gave her a goodnight cuddle and instead of a sheet I used my hand to tickle her face. Don’t give up, after a few minutes she started closing her eyes. Then shortly after fell asleep. Just softly run your fingers from the top of their head to their chin. Try your own methods.

So? What happened?

It worked? IT ACTUALLY BLOODY WORKED!

Find REAL Treasure - Paint - Hide = Happiness – Days Out NOW

Find REAL Treasure - Paint - Hide = Happiness – Days Out NOW: 

Paint – Hide = Happiness 

Can you imagine, the excitement that pirates and treasure hunters would have felt upon discovering a hoard of untold wealth? Deep in a jungle or on a deserted island in the Caribbean?

Risking their lives to find,

Gems,

Rubys,

Gold,

Silver,

& Diamonds…..

Well, I’m here to tell you all about a modern way to recreate that excitement and you don’t need a crew and ship to do it!

My story begins on a Winters day at the Iron bridge gorge near Telford, Shropshire. We had visited Blists Hill Victorian Town and to finish off our day out we decided to head to the Iron Bridge (It is a World Heritage site after all.).

The bridge was under maintenance and there wasn’t too much to look at so we headed along the River Severn for a stroll.

After a short walk, we came to some steps leading back up to the town and it’s wonderful shops. Suddenly there was a shout! 

“LOOK!”

“Mummy, look!” cried one of the children.

Jenson (our Nephew) ran over to a strange stone. It was beautifully painted and finished with great care. On the reverse, a message read;

“LOVE ON THE ROCKS TOWCESTER. KEEP OR REHIDE, POST A PHOTO TO FACEBOOK!”

This was crazy. Towcester is very close to where we all live and the kids were overjoyed! 

Jenson took the rock home and I believe he re hid it. This was our 1st ever experience with this painted rock phenomenon and I liked it. I had seen a post about this a year prior to finding the stone which I shared to my facebook audience but never thought that it would become such a massive craze.

Our 2nd experience came when we were shopping in a local Co-Op. Sitting on a shelf on the sweets aisle was a black painted rock with multicoloured spots. This time a small note was taped to the rock. 

The note simply read;

“IF YOU FIND THIS STONE YOU MUST MOVE IT ELSEWHERE!”

WOW!

It had happened again. We were due to visit Brighton for the Bank Holiday weekend and so I suggested talking it with us.

I felt a bit like a shop lifter smuggling the rock into my pocket but it had to be done. We did remember to take the stone with us and we did leave it in Brighton. What a wonderful idea.

If you ever find that black stone in Brighton please let me know!

What you need to take part

a.) A Stone

b.) Paint

Yes it really is that simple.

Brilliant!

Pick your design, let your children decorate their own and hide them where ever you want. This is all about letting your creative side yell out.  

We would love to see your amazing creations and also you finds. Comment below if you have ever found a painted stone or share it on our social media platforms. 

Get treasure hunting and have fun!
