A Guide On How to Get Your Son to Do Chores
Tired of arguing with your son to pick up after himself? Tired of having to pick up after him? With this guide, you’ll learn the steps to take to help your son do chores.
More importantly, you’ll learn to communicate with your son in a manner that helps him develop self-regulation and motivation skills. That means no more having to “stay on top of him” or “make him do what he’s supposed to do.” He’ll do it because he’s internally motivated to be responsible and create a harmonious environment.
Price: Choose Your Price ($1.00 minimum)
It’s my goal to make this resource available to as many mothers as possible. Pay as much or as little as you’d like. Your purchases will enable me to continue to create content for mothers like you.
After you pay your price, you’ll receive a receipt with a link to your guide. You’ll find the link under the section labeled “Purpose” in your email.
