Extractions: Teach The Children Just a week before Christmas I had a visitor. I just finished the household chores for the night and was preparing to go to bed, when I heard a noise in the front of the house. I opened the door to the front room and, to my surprise, Santa himself stepped out from behind the Christmas tree. He placed a finger over his mouth so I would not cry out. "What are you doing?" I started to ask. The words choked up in my throat, as I saw he had tears in his eyes.
Sibling Rivalry - Kent teach the oldies from your own teen years, or have them teach you their Besideshelping with older one's chores, younger children can decorate a http://www.summithealth.org/siblingrivalry.htm
Extractions: SIBLING RIVALRY by Carolyn D. Kent, M.D. Despite the obvious influence of parents on a child's developing personality, some experts believe that brothers and sisters may have as much or greater effect on a person's childhood. Particularly when both parents work, young children will see much more of their siblings during the day than they will of either parent, and as they grow older, less and less of their interactions are monitored by adults. Brothers and sisters teach each other many things about the world. They serve as competitors, loyal supporters, role models, and go-betweens for each other. Although they usually share the same experiences growing up together in the family, the effects of those experiences may be vastly different depending on age, coping skills, perceptions, and innate personalities, explaining in part why children from the same household can be so different as they grow. Parents can influence their children's interactions in many ways. Certain rules may help reinforce parents' convictions about the way "we treat one another." No name-calling should be a rule started early. Dummy, Fatso, Nerd or their variants cause great pain for children and color their feelings about themselves. Parents can't do much about the schoolyard, but siblings should never be allowed to torment each other in this way. A sense of community and responsibility for each other can be nurtured in subtle ways. Although all children need to have assigned chores, those chores can be rotated so that it's not Jason's job, it's a family job that someone has to do, and we take turns doing it, and helping each other out. If it's Megan's week to do dishes, but she has music lessons after supper, it's okay for parents to tell Ashley, "Look, can you do me a special favor tonight? The dishes need to be done, and Megan's not here. When you get them done, I'll have time to do something special with you, and I'm sure Megan will help you feed the dog next week when you're at Susan's house." After the expectation is established that the sisters can bargain mutual responsibility for chores, they can negotiate between themselves.
A Few Words To Parents About Children And Dogs dog will depend largely on your ability to teach your dog children should be encouragedto be responsible for some aspect of the chores for children of All Ages http://www.checchibooks.com/dogs.html
Extractions: By Mary Jane Checchi "Mom! I want a dog! I'll take care of him all by myself. I promise!: Sooner or later, most parents hear this refrain. Over and over. A Natural Affinity. Children turn to dogs to love and be loved, for companionship, fun and comfort. A Canine pal (unlike a parent) doesn't complain about loud music, a dirty room, even a bad report card. Dogs often seem drawn to children, in whom they may sense kindred playful spirits. Parents Beware. Despite the promises and the affinity, it is the rare child of any age who can be entrusted with full responsibility for a pet. Children are busier than ever with after school and weekend activities, summer camp, part-time jobs. A youngster may love her dog and still forget or lose interest in walking, grooming, or feeding him. If you are a parent who is thinking about adding a dog to the family, first be certain that you understand the considerable demands, as well as the joys, of dog ownership; and that you have the desire, time, and money to care for this pet throughout his life, which may last fifteen years or more.

Children And Chores Each of your children wants to be valuable to the family and to feel good that heor she You also do not want to give too few chores and teach your kids http://www.hope2help.com/parent/ages.htm
Extractions: There is a delicate balance in assigning chores to children. On the one hand, they need to be chores that the child can actually do. And on the other hand, they can be chores that they do not yet know how to do well. The Child Must Be Able to Do the Chore Obviously, a 5-year-old cannot easily wash dishes and a twelve year old cannot balance the family checkbook. But the five year old can learn to wipe off the dinner table and the twelve year old can learn to plan the expenditure of the family weekend recreation budget. And while a seventeen year old cannot contract with a painting contractor to paint the inside of the home, he or she can find three companies, get estimates and make a recommendation on who to use. You will not want to criticize a child for the job done. You can critique the job without discouraging the worker. When a child does not live up to his or her potential, it can be presented just that way. For example, you can say something like, "You didn’t do your usual good job. Is something troubling you? Or were you in too much of a hurry because your favorite television program was about to start?" Then solve the problem rather than get after your son or daughter. Ask, "What could you do differently so that you do a good enough job to not have to do it over and miss your television program?" As much as possible, let them solve the problem. Only offer an answer when they cannot think of a solution.
Raising Children - Children And Chores Take a little time out to teach her. Do not bribe or pay your child for doing routinechores. Who would have thought that just teaching children to help you is http://www.indiaparenting.com/raisingchild/data/raisingchild012.shtml
Extractions: Children and Chores Children dont help When parents look at a newborn baby cuddled in their arms, a feeling of protectiveness usually overwhelms them. They want to do everything possible to make their child happy and comfortable. As the years go by, the baby grows up, but parents tend to underestimate the capabilities of young children and continue to do things for them without expecting anything in return. Then one day, they wake up and decide its time their children pitch in and are surprised when they are met with resistance. After years of having their parents pamper them, it comes as a rude shock to children that theyre actually expected to pull their weight in the house. Megha Chatterjee says that she is tired of feeling like a slave to her children. While I dont expect my children to do household work, I do think that they must learn to look after their own things. They shouldnt assume its my job to pick up after them. Catch them young Doing chores gives children a sense of responsibility, teaches them cooperation and involves them in family life. The sooner parents give their children age-appropriate responsibility the better. Parents can slowly increase the difficulties of the task and their expectations depending on the maturity of the child. Two- and three-year olds love to help as it gives them a feeling of being in control. At this age they think it is great fun to be entrusted with any tasks and view them as a challenge. Parents should give children this age responsibilities such as: picking up their toys, choosing their own clothes, helping in brushing their hair, washing their hands and face, etc.
NASP Center - Teenagers And Chores: Guidelines For Parents Others think of chores as contributions to family maintenance, not a job for pay.Some think of an allowance as a means to teach their children about money http://www.naspcenter.org/adol_chores2.html
Extractions: Guidelines for Parents For a printer-friendly version, click here Given the arguments and the supervision that are sometimes required to get some teens to finish chores, many parents ask, "Why bother?" Be assured that the effort is, indeed, worthwhile. Accomplishment of chores are especially important for teens because they teach basic domestic "survival skills" that will help the teens to successfully and competently live separately from their parents when that time comes. This competence also adds to their sense of self-reliance and general confidence. It can also foster self-discipline and order, which are foundations for successful employment. And, chores help the teens to prepare to be responsible roommates, the first step in being responsible and helpful community members. What Chores are Appropriate for Teenagers?

Extractions: Don't put pressure on him to learn quickly, as pressure disorganizes rather than helps him. He will be upset by work that seems to him to be too difficult and he feels threatened with failure. He feels helplessness, despair, and resentment toward you for demanding more than he can give. He may sometimes burst into tears. Here, work should stop completely and the child should be soothed. Begin again with review work, in which you know he will be successful and build slowly and carefully until you can present the new material again. Teach social skills. Many children become isolated because they cannot cope with the simplest of social situations. Make a point of teaching him the skills that his peers have. Teach him games in which he can participate and even excel: card games, checkers, and other fad games that pop up every season. Help him learn to catch and throw a ball. Even if he never becomes a ball player, teach him the rules, its vocabulary, so that he will make an intelligent observer or scorekeeper. Besides games, parents should try to help him achieve other nonacademic interests and skills of children his age so that he can hold his own with his friends. Help your teenager learn the words to the pop tunes and help him learn to dance. Teach him to bowl and swim, how to order from a menu, how to pay the bill and leave a tip. Parents should never take for granted that their children will learn social graces in normal interaction with friends.

This is how it happened...I just finished the household chores for the night and was preparing to go to bed, when I heard a noise in the front of the house. I opened the door to the front room and to my surprise, Santa himself stepped out from behind the Christmas tree. He placed his finger over his mouth so I would not cry out. "What are you doing?" I started to ask. The words choked up in my throat, and I saw he had tears in his eyes. His usual jolly manner was gone. Gone was the eager, boisterous soul we all know. He then answered me with a simple statement. "TEACH THE CHILDREN!" I was puzzled; what did he mean? He anticipated my question, and with one quick movement brought forth a miniature toy bag from behind the tree. As I stood bewildered, Santa said, "Teach the children! Teach them the old meaning of Christmas. The meaning that now-a-days Christmas has forgotten." Santa then reached in his bag and pulled out a FIR TREE and placed it before the mantle. "Teach the children that the pure green color of the stately fir tree remains green all year round, depicting the everlasting hope of mankind, all the needles point heavenward, making it a symbol of man's thoughts turning toward heaven."

Extractions: We take it for granted that children know how money gets into our wallets. The tips below will guide you through teaching your children the value of money. Now I'm not referring to the value of stocks and bonds, compounding interest, or the current market value of a U.S. dollar. What every child should be taught at some time is: the purpose of jobs (how we earn money), saving for goals (how to save money), limit useless spending (how to budget). It's up to you to decide when and at what age it is appropriate to discuss the following topics. But keep in mind that if you don't teach them the skills to make educated, responsible decisions with their money, you will be holding back a valuable lesson that should be taught. Learning how to successfully manage money is a skill they will have for life.

Helping Your Child Understand Money learning to save. teach children to save some of the money they receivefrom allowances, chores, gifts or work. You might, for example http://www.metlife.com/Applications/Corporate/WPS/CDA/PageGenerator/0,1674,P1193
Extractions: Just as important as learning to spend money wisely is learning to save. Teach children to save some of the money they receive from allowances, chores, gifts or work. You might, for example, have them put some of their money into savings and give some to charity, then allow them to spend the rest. Interest payments are an important benefit to a savings program. You can teach your child that the money saved is busy earning interest. For very young children, use two containers and a little change to teach them about interest. Mark one container 'S' for savings and the other 'I' for interest. When a child puts a quarter in one jar (the savings jar), you put a nickel in the other jar (the interest jar). While this is a generous 20 percent rate of return, the exaggeration will be missed by young children. However, they will understand that money can work for them, and they'll be inspired to participate in a savings program. For older children, you can use real-world examples. For example, as deposits are made into a savings account, show your child how interest is being earned not only on the deposits the principal but also on the interest previously earned.

Extractions: Once my sons were toilet-trained, I thought it might be time for them to learn to clean the toilet. But as I looked over parenting books, it seemed to me like a lot of them were written not by parents but by parental men: people who wanted to tell me the "right" and "wrong" way to do everything, whether it worked in my family or not. It seemed to me wiser to interview dozens of families who had raised responsible children and ask, "What worked for you? What didn’t? Why do you think it’s important for a child to do do chores?" This book is the result of nineteen interviews, plus years of trial and error in our own family. I have learned: - a home is a laboratory where it is permissible to try a method, fail, and try again - schedules work for a while, then need to be revised and discarded as the family ages - children sometimes have better ideas than their parents

Extractions: Your children's attitude toward money will be shaped by nature. They inherit from your ideas and you nurture them. They pick up ideas along the way. Despite peer pressure, it's likely they'll end up the carbon copy of you. So before you try to mold them, think about picturing yourself as they see you. Children get a culture on financial life by watching and listening to their parents and older siblings. Financial Management ...Must be learned. The most basic money concept we all deal with are that resources are scarce. We do not have enough resources to satisfy all our wants and needs. Therefore, trade-offs and choices must be made. The way that we make these choices is learned from our families, friends, and personal experiences. ...Must be practiced. We are all controlled by our habits - both habits that lead to choices we like and those that do not. ...Includes everyone in the household. Parents and children need to talk about their needs, wants, and goals. Family members may have different values. These needs must be shared in the family. Talk out your concerns, and listen to the needs of others. After the concerns have been shared, the family makes decisions that reflect the interests of each family member.
