[quote=Anonymous]Your kids are old enough that you might actually start by having a family meeting and soliciting their input. What's important to them to get to do in the day/week? When do they like to do things? What do they think? I'd avoid making promises in the room, but I think soliciting their input could really help you unstick, and you're still the parent, the final decision on their schedules lays with you. But if a kid says "I wish I could have my hour of screen time in the morning because that's when my friend Larlo plays so we can play Minecraft together" or "I hate going right from lunch to chores" or "what if we tried to take a family bike ride every day" or something, that could be really, really. helpful, and make enforcement of the less pleasant parts of the schedule (ie, laundry) a bit easier. YMMV depending on your kids, but they seem like their at a good age for it. [/quote]
