Manners and being responsible for your own toys were the biggest issues I have had with my two stepdaughters, but because of the consistent praise and being sure to tell them that I appreciated what they did, we don't have any problems whatsoever getting them to pick their toys up after they have strewn them all over the house or saying please, thank you, excuse me, etc.Holly (Woman Tribune)http://womantribune.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131797182263927175.post-21648194009140196422012-09-06T17:12:48.962-04:002012-09-06T17:12:48.962-04:00Great tips!

Also, it is best not to offer allowance, not in regards to the your little one's tasks anyways. Because they end up doing it for the wrong reasons!SOS Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12635218391038994443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131797182263927175.post-60865417611216187222012-09-06T14:22:19.496-04:002012-09-06T14:22:19.496-04:00Great ideas!!!!Great ideas!!!!Mudpiesandtiarashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08735548215115441253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131797182263927175.post-83267567081594582992012-09-06T12:42:33.656-04:002012-09-06T12:42:33.656-04:00Thanks for these tips.
