Overview

Teaching adults how to identify reasonable expectations for different ages, this guide discusses situations that call for obedience and those that call for a child taking responsibility. It provides parents with useful information for instilling responsibility in their children, answering questions about discipline, household chores, homework, and independent living skills, and demonstrates how to help kids build skills in decision making, problem solving, memory, and motivation. In addition to fostering harmony in the home, these skills will help children grow into competent adults.
