In this brand new video from Kids in the House, I give you some tips for getting kids to do boring but necessary tasks.
Check out my Boosting Emotional Intelligence and Self-Motivation online class for much more on this subject. Register now, and take the class at your leisure–but be sure to RSVP for a free video coaching call with me on April 30 (space is limited).
My favorite way to get my son to take stuff outside to the recycling bin is to engage his imagination. I tell him he has to go “feed the troll” (who might be a little hungry, and thus a little cranky — so be careful he doesn’t get eaten himself!). He loves this.
Very creative! and fun.
