Science Says the Most Successful Kids Have Parents Who do These 5 Things⠀

1. Involve your children in setting the schedule. No one, adult or child, likes to feel they have no control over their time. So discuss the schedule with your kids and make sure you incorporate at least some of their suggestions. "When children participate in creating guidelines and schedules, they are more likely to believe the guidelines are important, accept them and follow them," Grolnick notes.

2. Allow as much choice as possible. "Parents can present some chores around the house, and children can choose which they prefer.

3. Be empathetic. This is hard on kids. Really listening to their feelings isn't just the loving thing to do, it will also make things run more smoothly at home. "Children will be more open to hearing about what they need to do if they feel that their own perspectives are understood," Grolinick says.

4. Explain your rules. No one likes to obey rules they don't understand. A pandemic doesn't change that. Explain your reasoning.

5. Problem solve together. Problems will arise no matter how thoughtful and inclusive you are. When they do, solicit your child's input on how to resolve the issue.
