Pick Up Your Socks . . . and Other Skills Growing Children Need! by Elizabeth Crary

Responsibility is a skill you can teach. Hard to believe? Not with the no-nonsense advice in this classic book. For more than a decade, parents have been relying on Elizabeth Crary's step-by-step guide to getting kids to both accept and learn responsibility. Whether you're teaching a small child to pick up his socks or a teenager to handle peer pressure, you'll appreciate the real-life examples, complete with consequences. Crary also helps parents be realistic in their expectations. She explains normal developmental stages and learning styles, so we understand how our kids best absorb and retain information. Wondering when your kids will finally take responsibility for routine chores? Elizabeth Crary's research shows that developing responsibility takes time. How much time? That's what you'll find on page 51 of Pick Up Your Socks. After surveying hundreds of families, Crary put together a chart that shows when you can expect your kids to remember to brush their teeth, feed the pets, take out the trash, make their beds and all those other jobs you'd like them to do.
