Do you ever feel like you can't make it! I wish my child would just listen to me and I feel like such a failure? Well I have been there! I good idea to do, is to set up a behavior chart on the inside of your kitchen cupboard. Think of some character traits you would like to instill in your child or children, and list them. One thing I did, is have a weekly chart with home jobs on it, such as empty the dishwasher, bring down your dirty clothes to the wash room, etc., but added a couple of very important things!
I had my kids also recite a short verse of the week daily, to me. They also were evaluated on our job chart, on how they did on a character trait of the week, such an obedience, patience, generosity, etc. Learn more about this. It is fun and you will be feeling better about teaching your children values along with the basic jobs around the home. You can add monetary value to doing these "jobs each day, or have a weekly or daily sticker chart, depending on the age of your child. Don't forget about holding them accountable at a very young age on tithing! I'll get into more details as we go along!
Until next time!
