A mum-of-four has shared her "genius" life hack to call her children down for dinner - without constantly shouting.<br /><br />Laura Cuniff, 30, shared the insight at the end of January on her social media account @inside_our_riverside.<br /><br />Instead of calling her children down for dinner, she has installed doorbells inside her kitchen cupboard with each linked to a speaker in their bedrooms.<br /><br />Laura said in the clip: "Tired of shouting at the kids? Try doorbells!<br /><br />"Put one in each bedroom. No shouting."<br /><br />Laura lives with her partner Adrian in Plymouth as a blended family - with four children - aged six, nine, ten and twelve - and the family often share insights into their home life.<br /><br />The mum says she came up with the doorbell idea as her youngest 6-six-year old is autistic, non-verbal and has "various sensory processing difficulties" meaning he is sensitive to noise.<br /><br />Laura adds: “That's why I came up with the doorbells so that I would not have to shout and hurt his ears.<br /><br />"We were struggling to call the kids down without him grabbing his ears.<br /><br />"We had an old doorbell from our previous house and we tried it out and it worked a treat so we put one in each of the three older children's rooms!<br /><br />"It’s brilliant because the noise of the bell cuts through their headphones.<br /><br />"It would also work for garages and sheds, or anywhere with a plug socket!"<br /><br />Fellow parents have praised the hack as "genius".<br /><br />The reel on Instagram currently has 2.6 million views and 108k likes.<br /><br />Laura set up their page - @inside_our_riverside - at the beginning of 2022. <br /><br />She said: "I was in a rut of being “mum” constantly and wanted something to focus on! <br /><br />"It’s a dream to be able to social media full time, my followers always seem to be laughing with me at my stories so it does brighten my day up!"
