[quote=Anonymous]OP -- what would happen if you called a family meeting, stated the problem, asked them to help find a solution / compromise, and set reasonable consequences for failure to comply? So maybe, you control the wifi password and only if X, Y, and Z are done, they get the password? BTW, so much of this is just habit building and consistency. My feeling is that you present 1 problem at a time, work on it until it consistently becomes a habit, and then move on to the next thing. Example: with my older DS (5), I pretty much physically don't let him leave the table without clearing his dishes first and then washing his hands. When he was littler, he'd try to run away, but I would gently bring him back and say: "You can play after you help clean up". I don't even have to ask him now. Not because he's an amazing, thoughtful kid, but because he did it enough times it's now just what he does. [/quote]
