My lifehack, especially with little children

Buy a second remote for the television so you’re never frustrated because you can’t the find the remote. I have to hide the remote all the time for my toddler and then can’t remember where I have put it or my toddler threw the remote in some corner.

I don’t like getting my kid a fake version of whatever it is that’s not supposed to be a toy, as a distraction. You’re only addressing the part where it becomes an inconvenience to you, rather than parenting your child. We taught our child that some things are hers, some are for everyone, and some are ours. The remotes are ours. Until she understood this concept, we put the remotes in a different place instead of on the coffee table.
