Sitter Secret #4: Carrot Trap

This is very similar to my first sitter tip. If you have kids who are scared of monsters, get a carrot and a plastic bag. Put the carrot in the bag, and place the bag in their room for a few minutes.

Tell them that monsters LOVE carrots and that they'll shrink inside the bag to get the carrot. Tie up the plastic bag, and throw it away. Kids should sleep soundly after that!
