Before you know it, youve started to sound like a broken record as you repeatedly ask them to
20、 do their assignments, clean their room, or take out the trash. Rather than saying “Do your chores now.” youll be more effective if you set a target time for when the chores have to be completed. So instead of arguing about starting chores, just say, “If chores arent done by 4 pm, here are the conse
21、quences.” Then its up to your child to complete the chores. Put the ball back in their court. Dont argue or fight with them, just say, “Thats the way its going to be.” It shouldnt be punitive(惩罚性的)as much as it should be persuasive. “If your chores arent done by 4 pm, then no video game time until c
