Every grocery trip used to feel like a battlefield of “Mom, can I have that?” — candy, cereal, toys, soda… the endless cycle of pleading and saying “no.” 😩
One day, I tried something different: instead of buying them treats, I let them pick one canned item to donate to the food bank. What happened next shocked me — the begging stopped, the meltdowns calmed, and my kids actually felt proud. ❤️
Sometimes, the smallest shift changes everything.
