Having great difficulty at the moment getting the kids to help tidy up after a meal as several other things off your list. I will keep at them.

Thanks for sharing this. I think as parents we sometimes overlook common sense solutions for getting our kids to listen and participate. This is wonderful! Thanks for sharing this.

I moved to China few years ago and I see with frustration how authority is terribly confused with authoritarianism especially in schools. This is a great list of Do's and Do Not's but I have to disagree with just one Do Not. The "Do not talk back to teachers, parents or people with authority". I think that from an early age kids must speak their mind and be tough to stand for what they think and believe, of course always with respect and with arguments. That is a good way to create responsibility and independence in our kids. I’m not a parent yet, my wife is pregnant so I will become one and education is one of my main concerns.

This is a great list of Do’s and Do Not’s but I have to disagree with just one Do Not. The “Do not talk back to teachers, parents or
people with authority”. I think that from an early age kids must speak their mind and be tough to stand for what they think and believe, of course always with respect and with arguments.

That is a good way to create responsibility and independence in our kids.

My children are all adults now but every Saturday morning we would spend a couple of hours doing the housework together. We would then make lunch and have a special treat in the afternoon, like a walk to the park or rollerblading. They learned responsibility, and also a great time to communicate together. Also liked the "Don't For All Ages" list. Respect for others is the most important thing here. Also would add "With rights comes responsibility. You are responsible for your own actions, and responsible for your own outcomes." Great list.
