Are you Training your kids to be lazy?

Are you great at telling your partner and work colleges what to do, but when it comes to your children you are letting them walk all over you?

Are you rewarding them for bad behavior?  Do you bribe them to do the things they should be doing such as cleaning their room?  Do you do everything for them and then expect them to do things for them-self?  
​
Teenagers and children learn by your actions not your words.  Are you repeating what you say multiple times before they will take notice?   How many times do you have to repeat yourself to get them to do something?

Take action and say things only once.
These days there are several items which will immediately put your child in best behavior mode, oh they will whine!!  Your will hear "my phone is my life", "you've ruined my life" .... but you will find an amazing turn around in their behaviour.

- The mobile phone - disable outbound calls, or take the phone away altogether.

- Take away their favorite game - take it to work with you, or hide it - my children would call me and I'd tell them where I'd hidden it each day, and sometimes I just took it to work with me.

Good luck!
