How do I teach responsibility?

Responsibility grows when kids feel valued for helping, not punished for forgetting.

What to do, step by step:

1. Assign small jobs.
   “You’re in charge of watering plants.”
   
2. Use reminders, not scolding.
   “What’s your job before snack time?”
   
3. Acknowledge effort.
   “You remembered all by yourself!”
   
4. Keep it fun.
   Add music or a race timer.
   
5. Show appreciation.
   “Your help makes our family stronger.”
