A Child's Book of Responsibilities: developing self-reliance through guided tasks

A Child's Book of Responsibilities puts an end to the tension and tears  of daily parent-child battles over chores. The hands-on format motivates a child to be useful, to cooperate, and to know the pleasure of completing a task. A Child's Book of Responsibilities includes ten charming category cards of daily and weekly responsibilities, with age-appropriate tasks listed on the back of each card. But the choices are the child's. The author believes you open the door to cooperation when you give a child ownership of decisions. A child chooses the category and the task, completes the task daily (or weekly), and moves the card to a colorful "I did it!" pocket page. The number of choices and responsibilities grows as a child thrives on being useful. Everything is contained in the colorful double-folded pocket pages of A Child's Book of Responsibilities. Notes to parents show how to jumpstart an easy routine, nurture competence, and celebrate responsibility. The cover and brightly illustrated cards are hand-assembled and UV coated for durability. For ages three to eight years. Revised edition.

A Childs Books of Responsibilities received the Second Place Award from the 2011 statewide Printing Association of Florida Annual Awards.
