This concept allows all members of the family to be involved while keeping a smile on their face. The little daily touches are yours.
At home, it is often very difficult to maintain calm, especially when you have several children who tend to argue about anything and everything. But there is a simple solution to reverse the trend and involve the whole family on a daily basis, in a good mood. This concept is a secret weapon to put into practice on the days when you feel the desire (or need) to make your children a little more supportive of each other. It’s “peanut day”, an idea taken from scout camps and suitable for all families. This is actually one of the suggestions in the book.A thousand and one ideas for being a great grandparent” published by First. But what exactly does this consist of?
The secret peanut is above all linked to its “elephant”. To get started, simply write down the first names of all family members on pieces of paper. Mix them in a hat and ask everyone to draw one. At this precise moment, everyone becomes “the secret peanut” of the elephant assigned to them by chance,” explains the work.
The goal of the game: to please your protégé, in any way, throughout the day and discreetly. The child may spontaneously clear the table, tidy his room, serve the meal, offer a lollipop or candy, pay compliments, empty the dishwasher, etc. At the end of the day: wear off the masks ! Everyone confesses by revealing the person who was the subject of these adorable attentions.
If you are looking for other ideas for little touches, first of all get closer to the person’s desires and tastes. If it is a parent for example, doing household chores and allowing them to rest while taking care of their little brothers and sisters will be welcome. If it is one of the children, he will know how to please him by offering him sweets or his favorite toy… It’s up to you!
