Counselor's Corner

Responsibility

Assigning age appropriate chores is a great place to start building the skill of responsibility at home. As they grow, you will be able to add responsibilities to their list. It is important to praise their effort even if they did not complete the task perfectly. This will not only foster their growth in responsibility but also their self-esteem!
