Make things a contestTo get kids to do chores they hate or even bathe, make it into a contest. Say I bet you can't clean this in less than x minutes. Set a timer and let them try and do it faster than the time. Reward them with a hug, or treat or extra book at storytime. Kids love knowing they have a time limit, and they work much faster.By noababy on 25-Apr-2007 763 people have seen this parenting tip.
