| Question 1. | How can I improve my kids’ attitudes toward helping out at home? |
| Answer 1. | Check your attitude. The odds are excellent that your kids are mirroring, venting or just showing you yours. |
| Question 1.a. | My attitude is excellent: I know it needs to be done, I know it’s ‘work now, play later.’ I know it’s important to get things done. |
| Answer 1.a. | I’m not hearing ‘I enjoy and value this work while I’m doing it –I plan it and look forward to it.’ |
| Question 1.b. | What kind of nutcase feels that way about cleaning toilets? |
| Answer 1.b. | You’d be amazed –but it’s the attitude you want someone to tell you how to install in your kids. If you can’t find it within reality, how on earth can they? |

I completely agree....my kids all love to help me do dishes, and I think it is because I love doing dishes. I do. Most of the time I won't let anyone do dishes because I enjoy it and am hogging it. So when they do get to do the dishes, they also think of it as a treat in their day.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand I hate folding laundry, and so do they.
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing your living exmaple1
