        Find a truck innertube and cut it into sections the width of the tire. Stretch around the plastic drive wheels and hold on. Greatly increased traction.

          When my son was crawling, he would take naps in the floor like most kids. Then he'd wake up and take off, or roll under furniture, or get into ****, and I would lose him. At 1st the dog would always lay beside him and let me know when he woke up, then he started bribing the dog so he got in on the scam. So I started waiting until he fell asleep, then I'd turn a laundry basket upside down over top of him.

            Kas…I did that to a set of oversized snow bibs shoulder straps in the rear. Still rocking to same tie after 4 years and two girls.

            A rubber hair band twisted and looped around shorts draw string make a super adjustable, comfortable, and kid friendly string cinch. I use this on my neckerchiefs and all draw strings.

            Cookies barbeque sauce on anything will get eaten.

            Double bubble gum used as a carrot on a stick will get unperforming kiddos to perform.

            Count up or count down to get bodies to move faster. Determine amount of time for a given task and start counting. Marine Corps Boot Camp parenting. It helps them learn their numbers and counting and to move faster when compelled with discipline if said task is not completed by end of countdown. Mississippis often replaces seconds. Counting by 2s, 5s or 10s (10,20,30,40, etc) increments can be substituted to mix up the monotony for 1 mississippi at a time. Zero is a number to not be overlooked. My girls dont respond well to counting sequentially emphatic. I have to let them know the time alloted…and announce achieved interval points on the timeline… 100 seconds allotted…every 10 seconds is announced on countdown. T minus 10 seconds gets louder to zero. Its never a pleasant experience, but bodies get moving.

              So I put duct tape across the waste.
              Fixed that
              Use electrical tape. It flexes and stretches a bit better. If you are like me, and know your wife will not be happy with you, at least be able to say see, it still stretches as he moves, but doesn't come off. LOL

                  My wife hates it because "the baby needs to learn to use a spoon" but in the interest of efficiency you can put that baby food in a large syringe and shoot that stuff right down their mouths. Zero cleanup.

                    Ordered the DeWalt adapters for the power wheels. I will be searching for the screw that allows high gear!

                      Jon, it's in the floorboard where the shifter is... It's just a little screw with a tab that keeps the shifter from being put in the higher speed gear...


                      BTW

                      ANYONE WHO WANTS THEM, I HAVE A JOHN DEERE "GATOR" AND "TRACTOR WITH FEL" THAT IS THE 12 VOLT ELECTRICS THAT MY GRANDSONS OUTGREW THAT ARE SOMEWHAT DISASSEMBLED, BUT AS FAR AS I KNOW ARE PRETTY MUCH COMPLETE. IF ANYONE WANTS THEM, PM ME AND I'LL MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO GET ONE OR BOTH TO YOU FOR FREE!

                        If your young ones have problems pronouncing "R"s, have them lay on their back with their heads hanging over the side of the bed and have them say words with "R's (firetruck, french fry, etc..). Worked wonders for my youngest daughter- immediate results.

                          Show them how cool the lawnmower, weedeater, and blower is. Then tell them how great they are using them. Even say things like, Man. Wish I could do it as good as you do!! They'll mow 3 times a week. Until about 14.

                            Word. Lessons on the zero turn are a big reward.
