253. BTS: What is your take as a psychologist on making kids do chores?
Description
Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...
- Unpacking what you consider to be a “chore” versus what is just an expectation of your child as a member of the household.
- How do you teach your child to do chores (and why you may need to remind them to do it over and over and over again!)
- At what age is it appropriate to expect your child to be able to accomplish tasks like chores?
- How to take advantage of routines when it comes to setting expectations and creating habits with your child.
- Being intentional about looking for opportunities where your child can help out that are aligned with your family values.
- Will giving chores decrease your child’s intrinsic motivation? (And why it’s not so black and white)
