I wanted share with you a simple trick you can use to get your kids to actually WANT to leave the house.
This is especially neat for getting them to go to those places that they really don’t want to… You know, like on errands and appointments and things like that.
Here it is…
The next time you want to get your kid to go somewhere (without a hassle or a fight)…Ask them to do something they don’t like first.
So ask them to clean up the yard, or clean their room, etc., etc., etc.
Then – ask them if they’re ready to “take a break” and go to wherever you need to go that day.
Your kid will be thrilled to stop doing the boring task at hand, and do something new and different.
Even if it’s something they usually don’t like.
See, when a kid is doing something already that they don’t like – taking a break sounds like the most appealing thing in the world.
Even if that break is something else they don’t like! It seems like the lesser of two evils to them.
Try it out! And let me know how it goes. You can thank me later 😉
Have a great one,
