LIVING LOVE AND LOGIC TIP #4

Getting our little ones to complete a job can be a difficult task. Take the frustration out of parenting with these simple tips!

1. NO REMINDERS. Although this can be hard to do, it is important for accountability.
2. Give them a reasonable  deadline: " Please be sure to have the bathroom cleaned before the soccer game tomorrow at 2:00"
3. Hope they either refuse or forget....so they can learn!
4. Do the chore for them.
5. Let empathy and a consequence do the teaching.

    "This is such a bummer! I did your chores. Now I don't have the energy to drive you to your friend's house."

*Remember it gets easier!
