Help! My Child Needs Constant Reminders.
• Consider your child’s age, experience and ability when giving them a job or a telling them to do something.
• Do not give directions to your child from another room. Go to your child, get their undivided attention and tell them what you want them to do. Then ask your child to repeat the instruction back to you. Stand there and wait until they go do what you’ve asked.
• Try not to give your child more than two or three steps to follow. Extra steps all at once, might be confusing and your child may have difficulty following them.
• Deliver your instructions in a supportive, rather than threatening manner.
• Establish a regular routine. This will help your child learn to perform chores without requiring reminders.
• Make written lists of directions you want your child to follow. Maybe create a chart for chores.
• Have your child perform the tasks when it is discussed instead of later.
• Allow natural consequences to occur as a result of your child’s failure to do what they are told. Example: Forgetting to put their bike in the garage may result in it being stolen.
• Remember, no one is perfect. We all need to be reminded sometimes to do things we do not particularly enjoy doing.

My Child Tells Lies

• Be honest. If you lie, your child will learn to lie also.
• Stay calm. You don’t want your children to feel frightened about telling the truth.
• Deal with your child’s lying privately rather than in front of others.
• Discuss alternative ways in which your child could have dealt with a situation rather than by lying.
• Encourage your child to come to you when they have a problem. You can help your child solve the problem and prevent their need to lie.
• Do make sure that there is a consequence for lying, but not too harsh because it would just cause your child to lie again to avoid the consequence.
• Praise honesty. Whenever your child tells the truth, praise them for being honest.
