gentle skill building: changing bedsheets
an old parenting hack is to layer multiple sheets and mattress protectors onto a kid’s mattress so that middle-of-the-night accidents are easy to address. Despite knowing this trick, many parents who struggle with getting their own bedsheets changed don’t think to try it on themselves. The mattress protector will
prevent dirt and sweat from reaching the sheets underneath so you can just pull off the layer and have a clean sheet already on the bed. Even if you do not have or cannot afford multiple mattress covers, layering your sheets onto the bed is a valid way to care for yourself. Getting a new sheet that may have a little bit of sweat on it is more functional than never changing your old sheet. Elevating your
functioning is always a good thing. You deserve clean sheets.
