#child-discipline

I walked away and continued my shopping. A few minutes later, the store manager stopped by to tell me that disrespecting children was against store policy and would not be tolerated. She referred me to the company website, but of course, I could find no such policy statement. Why must members of the public be disrespected by unruly, misbehaving, noisy children, who are then defended by adults who should know better?

I love a checklist of reminders for my kids, but these overly complicated chore charts? They've got to go. There are apps, there are magnetic charts, there are giant customizable dry-erase boards - it's all too much. And it makes giving your kids chores and encouraging them to be a part of the team at home way more overwhelming than it needs to be.
