I love the "small job breakdown." When my kids were smaller, we had little rewards as we worked along - such as 10 M&Ms or mini-marshmallows for each job completed. I'd give them each a Dixie cup to fill with their rewards. That kept "their eyes on the prize" - and they stayed focused. Power to moms! Suzanne Wells The eBay Coach <em><strong>Thanks so much!

We're still trying to figure out how to make our kids more useful. When they help, it actually takes longer most of the time. <em><strong>My mom always said it was easier to do it yourself but not always better. Only now do I understand that. :)</strong></em> Good job. We’re still trying to figure out how to make our kids more useful. When they help, it actually takes longer most of the time.

My mom always said it was easier to do it yourself but not always better. Only now do I understand that. :)

I totally hear your plight about the hurricane mess that can be made by a family of four. What a difference to all pitch in together. Sometimes it's the thinking about it that's more overwhelming than the doing it. Great post. <em><strong>So true - thinking is always worse than doing. :)</strong></em> Good for you and your family, Holly!
