Parents here is a great idea. Now that the kids are home for a few weeks you are probably constantly hearing “I’m hungry!” Every morning give them each a basket filled with snacks. Tell them they can eat these throughout the day but once their basket is empty they can’t be asking for more. Carrot gets a basket too. She wants snacks just as much as them. 👧🏼🐈👧🏼 @the_cat_named_carrot @bailey_no_ordinary_cat @theellenshow @catconworldwide @cats_of_instagram @scarymommy @thedodo @catstermag @peoplepets @parenting @todayparents @littlethingsusa @pawsup @andersonanimalshelter

“It solved one of my biggest frustrations,” Erin told TODAY Parents. “I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s been a life-changer.”

And it’s not just for kids! Jennifer says that she’s even seen some adults filling their own baskets to control boredom eating during the coronavirus stay-at-home.

Ultimately, Jennifer says her children have done “extremely well with it,” often times not even finishing the snacks that are in their baskets.
