Mom Wins The Internet With Genius Trick for Calming Down Kids at Bedtime

“Looking for a way to keep your kids still?” D’Entremont wrote in the post. “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.”

Much to her surprise, the plan worked! D’Entremont says her daughters both laid there for 10 minutes.

“I had to actually stop them to continue with bedtime,” she told TODAY. “I then transitioned them to their bedroom by turning off the lights — the pajamas really do glow! They loved it and thought it was great fun because they aren’t quite old enough to grasp that we could see them due to the glow, even though they couldn’t see their dad and I in the dark.”

In an update to her original post, D’Entremont says she started putting the pajamas away in their drawers when the girls 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.”

“Again,” she writes, “#notevensorry”

Neither are we mama, neither are we.
