When you have young kids, it's kind of like Survivor, you need to Outlast, Outwit and Outplay your children! We all can use a few tips from other parents. This video offers a few tips and let me share one too!

When my younger son would get dropped off at daycare almost 19 years ago, he would always cry, until I discovered pinky power! Pinky power was when we touched pinkies and I would go "bzzzz" transferring my power to him :) Kind of like Wonder Twins Power ACTIVATE!  After a couple of days I had to go around to the entire daycare and give pinky power to everyone before I could leave, but hey it worked, and he wouldn't cry, and it wouldn't tear my heart apart when I left.

If you have a tip for other parents, please leave it in the comments!
