How can I eliminate some household stress?

Enlisting Help from Your Children

Sit down with your children and talk about their part in household chores, such as keeping their room cleaned or picked up. Develop a solution together that both of you can agree with to get the job done. If your child helps develop the plan, he or she will have a better attitude and commitment to fulfilling their responsibility than if someone just simply tells them what to do. Involve your child in the process of developing a plan to keep their room neat. You will get much more cooperation
