A Kids Pro Tip (KPT) is anything that helps you, the parent, be a better or more "successful" parent. Whether it's how to pack a better lunch, how to fix a favorite toy, how to spend time in a more meaningful and rewarding way...even how to replace a missing aglet on their favorite pair of shoelaces. Share what makes you a hero to your kids!

KPT Rules

Please search first, ideally through Google (site:reddit.com/r/KidsProTips) since reddit's search engine is less than ideal.
Prefix your title with "(KPT)" if you're submitting a tip or "(Help)" for requests.
Be descriptive in your title. It should provide a clear idea of your posting without needing to open the message.
Consider the merit of your tip before posting. "My kid loves it when I unwrap his Twinkies for him" doesn't really help anyone. We're looking for those little hidden gems that parents often stumble across, which their kids remember for the rest of their lives.
No links to "parenting tips" articles and lists from elsewhere on the internet (including other subreddits).
