Switch things up at your casa with this role reversal game. Pretend that you're the "baby" and have your kid pose as Mommy or Daddy. She can tuck you in, "read" you a story and feed you some milk with this role-reversal activity. And you can refuse to eat your veggies, toss your toys all over the living room and throw a tantrum when she tries to make a phone call!
- "Baby":That'd be you.
- "Parent":Your kid.
- Baby stuff:Like your kid's favorite teddy bear, blankets, books, bottles, etc.
Reverse roles with your kid à la the movie Freaky Friday. Invite your kid to become "Mom" for an afternoon while you pretend to be the "baby."
Explain what you're doing, then have your kid tuck you in to your "crib," read you a story, sing you a lullaby ...
... while you carry around her favorite teddy bear, ask for some milk and beg her to read you another story.
She'll get a real kick out of seeing you mirror her behavior! And you'll find yourself wishing you really could swap roles. A two-hour nap smack in the middle of the day sounds nice, no?
