How to teach kids responsibility

We’d all like our kids to develop into responsible people. How can we help to ensure that our kids learn the lessons of responsibility? Here are some ideas: Start them with tasks when they’re young.

16 They can do a lot more than you think if you’re patient and creative. Encourage them to begin at an early age, and this helps them build confidence and enthusiasm for later tasks in their life. Don’t use rewards with your kids.

If you want your kids to develop a natural sense of responsibility, they need to learn what they do affects others not just themselves. 17 Use natural consequences when they make mistakes.

If they keep losing their baseball glove somewhere, let them deal with the consequences. Maybe they have to ask to borrow one for the game. 18 If you rescue them every time they make a mistake, they’ll never learn responsibility. 19 This is where they’ll learn it from. Take care of your stuff. Try to be on time. They’re watching you very closely.

Give them an allowance (零用钱) early in their life.

Let them make their own money decisions from an early age. They’ll learn their

lessons in a hurry. 20 A. Model responsible behavior for your kids. B. Maybe they have to buy a new one if it’s lost. C. Don’t help them out if they run out of money. D. Train your kids to be responsible and careful. E. They won’t learn that if they’re focused on what they’re going to “get”. F. Young kids have a strong desire to help out, even as young as age two. G. They’ll pick up on this belief and they’ll tend to rise to the level of expectation.
