So here's another one from the idea book. One that solves a problem I no longer have, but maybe it would help you.
I have three kids and when they were young (2-4 years) we had all sorts of reading methods. Sometimes I would read to them individually in their rooms but often we would head into the reading room so that I could read a book to them all at the same time. Sounds like something right out of a Disney movie, huh?
The reality is that reading to three kids at different ages and different temperaments was downright painful some nights.
They would fight over who had the better view, who was on Dad's lap vs. next to Dad. Who got to turn the pages and who got to point out special images on each page. Unfortunately, what starts as a wonderful scrapbook moment ends in tears.
One Solution - Stairs
One thing I found that "helped" was having me sitting on the stairs and having the kids sitting above me (one or two stairs up). This worked pretty well but one of the kids was always too far away to see properly.
My solution - A special chair
So, while we creative types like creative solutions, we also like to come up with new products. So my idea came out like this:
I called it the Stadium Chair™ and believe that it could solve this problem for me (even though I don't have it anymore).
Each child gets their own special seat and everyone has a perfect view of the book. You could even add drink cup holders for that warm bottle of milk. Now that sounds more like Disney, right?
You decide, thumbs up or thumbs down?
