[quote=Anonymous]I didn't read the book but I have a 20 yr old. I'd definitely suggest giving your child chores that are appropriate for their age (and increasing them as they get older). My DS works at his college during the school year and in the summer. It's a private college but we are probably on the low income side of things (he gets a Pell grant). The students he works with are UMC kids who have no work ethic. They have the job because they got a work study grant but he said they spend most of their time on their phones. They probably never did chores because they have zero idea how to clean a bathroom or make a bed or anything that is part of their job. These are all things most kids their age should be able to do (folding sheets, stripping a bed, dusting, vacuuming, etc). Giving your kids increasing responsibility shows them that you trust them and that they are part of a family. They will also feel confident when they can do things for themselves. [/quote]
