Jennifer Garner says “yes” to her kids for entire day

Hollywood actress Jennifer Garner has revealed she spends one day a year saying “yes” to all her children’s requests – within reason.

Inspired by the 2009 children’s book by Amy Krouse Rosenthal, which encourages parents to respond to children’s request with a “yes” instead of the all too often “no”, Garner shared an exhausted selfie on Instagram after indulging the requests of her three children – Violet, 11, Seraphina, eight, and Samuel, five – for the day.

As Garner explains in her Instagram post, this year’s “Yes Day” saw her sleeping in a tent in the backyard for the night.

“You’ll never need coffee more than the day after ‘Yes Day!’” she captioned the photo.

You’ll never need coffee more than the day after “Yes Day!”. #fiveyearsrunning #wesleptinatent #inthebackyard #coffeeismyyesday #yesday #nationalcoffeeday #imgettingthehangofhashtags (“Yes Day!"-- a fantastic children's book by @missamykr)
