Our Jif® Moms Voice Their Choice Contest™ Winner.
With three-year-old triplets and a daughter who's five, I can't sidestep choices if they're gonna thrive. From begging in the grocery to their clothing choices, my thinking gets drowned out by four loud voices. So to keep myself from mass hysteria, I formulated a four-question choice-making criteria. And so when these choices make me want to go hide, I defer to these questions, which serve as my guide. Question one is this: WILL IT INCREASE THEIR JOY??? If it won’t, then I immediately pass on that toy. If a choice leads to conflict or sadness or tears, I wouldn't want it in my house in a million years. But anything that brings about a long-term smile Is worth a little extra, and worth our while. Question two is: DOES THIS STIMULATE THOUGHT??? If it doesn't, then for us it shouldn't be bought. But I've found that any good brainwave-starter just makes us happier and makes us all smarter. Question three says: AM I JUST AVOIDING 'NO'??? If the answer is 'Yes,' then it's just gotta go. I wish I could say good manners were inherent, But I need to be kind AND firm as a parent. The fourth question is more valuable than wealth: WILL THIS BE POSITIVE FOR THEIR HEALTH??? As son or daughter, future husband or wife, I want each child to live a good healthy life. So from tiniest toe to the top of each head, it's good, healthy choices, like... JIF ON THEIR BREAD!!!
