I just read another article about age-adequate chores for your children, and this falls just in line with that. I simply love the angle of making them self-sufficient and independent in a loving and responsible way. Kind of understanding that family is a network of interdependent cells rather than a hierarchy with one boss in charge and a bunch of half-responding subjects. Thank you for putting this together. All the best!

I know all the problems which are coming with it, and the benefits as well. The two best solutions for me were using noise-cancelling headphones and not trying to hear what is happening at home when i have them on :) and second, delegate some housework to the kids. They may be wont do the best job from it, but they will learn with time.

I’m going to have to re-read to take in all the great tips. I especially love #3 and #4. Well I don’t love #3 because I hate getting up early. I love the idea of it but I’m terrible at it. However, lately I’ve come to realize that I am much more of a night person, so I’ve been staying up later to work and it’s been so helpful! As for #4, that’s always a tough balance but you’re right, our kids need our attention and support. Even just a few minutes of focused attention can help my girls play independently. Thanks again and keep up the good work!
