Making every order a question
When you give your kid an order, it should be an order. It shouldn’t be, “Hey, do you want to watch your little cousin while his mom and I have lunch?” it should be, “Hey, you’re watching your cousin while we have lunch.” If you ask a kid if he’d like to do something that is good for his development, he’ll usually say no. So don’t ask him—tell him.
