[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want to change a behavior you need to name it, say what they should do, and reward until the behavior is ingrained. So sit them down and say you appreciate their doing the chores, and now that they are older, you’d like them to do things without being asked, because you are raising them to be good adults who will be welcomed as houseguests and future partners or spouses. If you see them doing something like carrying the laundry, thank them. If you see them step over it, call them out and ask if they noticed the laundry. If they say they didn’t know where it was supposed to go, say they should be free to ask. Thank them for doing the right thing and comment if you catch them in the act of ignoring. All with a calm tone of voice. If one parent is critical, they may not make an extra move for fear of being told they did it wrong. [/quote] This is good advice[/quote]
