Give Kids A Wet Washcloth At Bedtime

RE: Give Kids A Wet Washcloth At Bedtime Post by QueenBeeCrafts (103) | (07/24/2007) Profile | Contact I find that if I at least wash my feet/ankles and hands/wrists with cold water before bedtime, it helps me to fall asleep better on those muggy nights. Another trick is to wrap an ice pack in a washcloth and put it on the back of your neck.

Now that they are grown and tell me of an ache or pain or that they have a headache I tell them to take a bath and put an asprin in it. Their response "Mom that don't work" with a look on their face like they can't believe they fell for that!!!!

When the kids were young, we sent them for a swim in the pool at bedtime. It cooled them off and wore them out. I wonder if a cold shower or cold tub would have the same effect.

At night about 20 minutes before bedtime she dipped us a nice dish of ice cream she had in the freezer & sometimes fresh sugared strawberries she'd mashed ! Mom was "one smart cookie! ;) & to think that all those years she had us fooled thinking the ice cream was just to shut us up ! HA !
