Mum shares 'genius' trick she uses to get the kids to bed quietly using glow-in the-dark PJs

Mum-of-two Jessica D’entremont has shared the genius way she calms her daughters before bedtime.

At the end of a busy day it's the last thing parents look forward to - getting the children changed and in their beds without too much complaint or fuss.

But Jessica might have the answer and she shared her simple trick on Facebook...

Jessica updated her post later on, revealing her way to push the clever trick even further: "To expand on the trickery I've started putting the PJs back into their drawer when they get dressed in the morning... unexposed to light all day they dim and do not glow in the dark when they tried to test me last night until they laid down again.

"Reinforcing the need to lie quietly under the light before bed.”

The post features a picture of the two little girls surrounded by toys, fiercely concentrating to lay still under the bedroom light.

The hack was shared more than 116,000 times and received more than 52,000 comments from parents praising her 'genius' trick and calling the Poughkeepsie mum “brilliant”.

Jessica proudly admitted she’s ‘#notsorry’.
