Parenting hack: every now and then, tie a small sweetie to the string you use to keep your kid's gloves attached to their coat. They'll really look forward to it!

Truly, there's no force more powerful than an inter-mitten reward.

Top tip: use a dice roll to determine when to deploy the sweetie, rather than relying on your own intuition.

It's vitally important to inject a source of strong randomness to attain a truly inter-mitten reward schedule.

Warning: if you find that the string breaks frequently, just replace it (rather than trying to understand the source of the breakage).


Most inter-mitten problems are never successfully diagnosed.

The string matters. Broken strings frequently lead to unnecessary hand wringing.

@pluralistic That was both groan-inducing and a great idea.
