So yes, comes from TikTok, obviously it is absolutely not scientifically proven in any way, but it has the advantage of changing the decor of family dinners.

@lexbrookemyers My dad actually sent me this idea and we tried it right away. Candles in the dark always calm me down, so I thought why not try it with my girls. A key memory that we will all share forever ❤️ #add #adhd #corememories #memories #growingup #candle #candlelightdinner #calm #family #familydinner #momsofiktok

So, personally, I know I won’t try, as my youngest is too rambunctious to stay in his place without literally throwing himself on the candle and screaming.” Happy birthday“. She could set the house on fire in 10 seconds.
