I love (okay, maybe not really love since it involves the kids misbehaving first) when Dad gets involved and gives the kids major jobs. A couple of times recently my backyard has gotten a really nice cleaning job by formerly bickering kids. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4976233599526021972.post-72991286829648066672008-08-27T17:51:00.000-04:002008-08-27T17:51:00.000-04:00That's a good idea and something I just recently t...That's a good idea and something I just recently thought of myself, actually. I think I posted about it yesterday! My kids fight about nothing. One will start with a quiet, "No..." the other says, "Yes!" and so it begins..."Intentionally Katie"https://www.blogger.com/profile/17821320551904740675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4976233599526021972.post-91685950211325332462008-08-27T12:42:00.000-04:002008-08-27T12:42:00.000-04:00It is amazing how easily they can turn from playin...It is amazing how easily they can turn from playing together to bickering back and forth.

I wrote about this topic in June (see <A HREF="http://gravityofmotion.blogspot.com/2008/06/kids-in-training.html" REL="nofollow">Kids in Training</A>). It worked well for me to 1) sit the kids down and tell them I needed them to start doing chores at a different time than when they were in trouble and 2) not allow one child to begin playing until chore time was done.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the post! It is such a good reminder that our kids benefit from chores.Jane Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10080114435686228615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4976233599526021972.post-3683410374114279502008-08-27T10:32:00.000-04:002008-08-27T10:32:00.000-04:00I love this idea!

I get to a point I won't even allow them to talk to one another in the car-because it always end up to be a fight! I will try this today.
