How to get your kids to volunteer to help?
Like most moms, I am constantly needing a helping hand. I ask my kids (9, 12,13) for help with the dishwasher, laundry, running errands, put away stuff, etc. I have developed this trick to help me get instant attention when I say, "Can someone give me a hand?" I reinforce whoever ask the quickest! It sounds so simple, I know. The child who says he will do it first or even second does not have to do it. The child who didn't volunteer has to do the chore. This trick has my children screaming, "I'll do it, Pick me!" and even fighting over who asked first.
If you have a question about tips or tricks or would like me to post your answer to this question? Post a question or answer in the comment section below.
