I like this post by Kate over at An Exercise in Frugality. She’s a single mom with two daughters, and she had the older daughter make an audio book for the younger daughter. Some books they loved weren’t available as audio books, so they made them! Now they can listen to them anytime- when mom’s busy, or tired, or just doesn’t have the patience to read the same book AGAIN. And it will be big sister’s voice.
I don’t have kids, but I think this is great parenting. It’s teaching children to be creative and resourceful, and that sometimes it’s more fun if everything isn’t just dropped into your lap.
It’s a great idea, and she’s got other great ideas about parenting, saving more, and spending less. Please share your creative parenting tips in the Comments section.
