[quote=Anonymous]Regarding chores, I echo what PPs have said about starting them early and making them part of the routine. That makes a huge difference. Re: the electronics, start as late as possible and with very clear and strict guidelines, like never at the table, never in the car, never in social groups, etc. (your details may very). The consequence for breaking the rule is to get it taken away for a period of time. Again, making this routine right from the beginning is a big help. Also set the example by not being on your device when your kids are around. With respect to being involved in family life, I think it helps to routinely do fun things together, like playing games, going to the movies, etc - even once the kids are older. These are my lessons learned. I think other PPs have some good ones, too. [/quote]
