Are you using rewards with yourself and your children?
I know ... it's a common method to get them to cooperate and to coerce ourselves too.
The downside is the reward often isn't enough motivation, and it can then become more about getting the reward, and then the focus on doing the thing or doing it well disappears.
I don't know about you, but with things I don't want to do the rewards don't stop the procrastination. Try having the dessert first!
When we let go of the idea that we have to control them for them to behave well, and replace that with trust that they know how to do the right thing, the best thing, the kind thing, our relationships changes.
