I'm just a mom, not a teacher, but I'm struggling to find a way to facilitate this kind of culture in our family - one where we all do what we are able to return our home to a usable, reasonably tidy space once or twice a day. <br /><br />I don't want to yell, command, and badger, but neither do I enjoy being the one to clean everything up every time as the kids move from place to place, toys and props left in their wake...Alexishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11785158347065850396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-61704874316488128052015-12-13T12:47:09.438-08:002015-12-13T12:47:09.438-08:00So true!

I do have a few that feel very opposed to the idea of picking up and will hide when the time comes. What will it take for the self motivation to click in to gear? I want it to be more than just being obedient, but rather them being a worker and doing it because they are invested Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607888313045386940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-35961829628481299422015-12-10T08:59:31.689-08:002015-12-10T08:59:31.689-08:00I love that clarification!

I disagreed - I have never operated out of fear of missing a deadline or completing a task on time, yet I couldn't quite explain it. You have clarified it for me, I assume the responsibility for meeting deadlines/completing tasks. Apparently he accepts the responsibility. When I look at it this way, it helps me understand him a bit more clearly. Thank you!Carolnoreply@blogger.com
