5.0 out of 5 stars Good practical advise for teaching life skills to kids, October 2, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: 401 Ways to Get Your Kids to Work at Home: Household tested and proven effective! Techniques, tips, tricks, and strategies on how to get your kids to ... become self-reliant, responsible adults (Paperback)
I am already utilizing several ideas from this book and I haven't finished reading it yet! The concept of teaching practical life skills to one's children to develop their self-confidence as well as helpfulness is great. My children are responding very well to new habit formation. They are also looking forward to getting their own recipe book with foods they can make themselves without Mom hanging around.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth reading...and rereading periodically., May 27, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: 401 Ways to Get Your Kids to Work at Home: Household tested and proven effective! Techniques, tips, tricks, and strategies on how to get your kids to ... become self-reliant, responsible adults (Paperback)
This is a great book. I've been hording my neighbor's dog-eared copy for a few years now. Every time I look at it, I find something other tool to try. I've finally decided that it is time to buy my own copy and let my neighbor lend hers to someone else who could use it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Ideas for a house full of kids!, March 3, 2006
This review is from: 401 Ways to Get Your Kids to Work at Home: Household tested and proven effective! Techniques, tips, tricks, and strategies on how to get your kids to ... become self-reliant, responsible adults (Paperback)
This book had lots of great information about the things we NEED to teach our kids before they venture out into the unknown. With 5 kids ranging in age from 18 years to 10 months, everyone is in a different place and it has been fun to watch the younger kids learn from the older kids. We have some goals in place for each kid and they are eager to start learning lots of "grown up" things!
