How in the world do you unify the family through doing their chores? Is that totally unrealistic? It’s a goal we can all work toward and actually have success more often than not. Chores aren’t really about getting the house clean, they’re about bringing your family together and teaching important life skills.
Here is a TV interview I did on that subject and tips for getting children excited to do their jobs.

Parenting Styles and Procrastination
Are you so bugged by kids who never seem to get things done on time? Do they drag their feet or “forget” their homework? Your parenting style may be teaching or pushing them in that bad direction. Learn how to stop nagging and why your parenting style matters.
I follow the first interview that lasts 1 hr. on Procrastination on the Matt Townsend show on June 9, 2014. After that topic, I discuss with Matt the research behind parenting styles that predict child procrastination. It’s a great show!
