[quote=Anonymous]First we started early. When we clean up dinner our rule is everyone works until everyone’s work is done, we started this rule in early elementary school. There is no conversation, I don’t even think it would cross our kids minds to not help. If a kid said they would help but didn’t there would be a consequence. For example, if told a child to help set the table but they refused, I’d require them to set the table for the next week to develop the skill of setting the table. And if that didn’t work I’d take away their device 30 minutes before every meal that week so they wouldn’t be distracted. And if that didn’t work I’d take away their device period. Etc. This doesn’t feel that complicated to me. Reasonable sized natural consequence, which you are prepared to hold firm on is the only way.[/quote]
