When you’re grocery shopping with kids, it can sometimes be tough tokeep them under control.

Instead of just distracting them, you might keep them occupied by making them part of the shopping process.

Kids can have a short attention span and grocery trips aren’t exactly their idea of fun.

Catherine McCord at theFood web connection Blogsuggests getting them involved in the shopping to keep them entertained.

Or even have them find a portion of the list on their own if they’re old enough.

The store is even a great place to startteaching kids about money.

Lastly, have your kids read item packaging as you shop.

It helps them get better reading and will probably increase their vocabulary.
