[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are totally overthinking this. Leave your kid a list of snacks to choose from and things he can do, and things he HAS to do for the first week. "Freddie, have an apple or pear and a string cheese or baby bel. Set table for dinner and put your clothes away, then start homework. If you finish, you can play Minecraft. See you by 5:15." By sixth grade he should be FINE. [/quote] +1 Yes, I give my tween who is home alone every day a list of chores to do (usually clean up kitchen (load/unload the dishwasher), fold laundry, practice the instrument, do homework, maybe run to a corner store to get some ingredient I'll need to make dinner).[/quote]
