[quote=Anonymous]Make it clear when assigning chores (tasks, familial contributions, etc) that part of doing the chore is doing it without being reminded. Although it wasn't a chore assigned to a specific kid, I told my kids that I expected to come down to a clean kitchen every morning, and if it wasn't clean, I would wake them up to clean it. Five AM wakeups were rare, but they left a lasting impression. It probably gave them flashbacks to the way the person who was supposed to set the table would find, at dinner time, that if I had to set the table, I didn't set a place for them and I didn't call them for dinner. (Yes, they could have dinner, but it was cold by the time they realized what had happened.)[/quote]
