If we had a nickel for each time our parents white-lied to us, we’d be millionaires by now. Folks make their children believe all kinds of tales – some of which we realized were lies only when we grew up. This ingenious mother from Poughkeepsie, New York, recently went viral for the hilarious white lie she told her kids when she was struggling to put them to bed.
“Looking for a way to keep your kids still? Buy them glow in the dark PJs. Tell them they have to lie really still under the light to “charge” them. I’m not even sorry. To expand on the trickery, I’ve started putting the PJs back into their drawers when they get dressed in the morning… unexposed to light all day, they dim and do not glow in the dark when they tried to test me last night until they laid down again. Reinforcing the need to lie quietly under the light before bed,” Jessica wrote i. In the pictures, you can see two of Jessica’s daughters – three-year-old Hannelore and four-year-old Emma, lying on the ground patiently while waiting for their pajamas to ‘charge.’
Sensory processing disorder is a condition in which a person’s brain has trouble receiving and responding to information which comes in through the senses. Some people who have the disorder are overly sensitive to things in their environment, while others can be under-responsive to anything around them. As Jessica’s kids are excessively sensitive to the various stimuli, she says that the little trick she posted about really improved the children's bedtime routine. They do it daily now, as a part of their sensory diet.
