The reviews reminded me to include chores. I know in a few years it will probably backfire and he won't want to do any chores, but for now including him in the chores seems to make a better day too. I joked once about "montessori dishwashing lessons.". But really, sometimes if I'm just waShing a few things, if I have extra time I make sure there's no knives in the water and let him play in the soapy dishes, reminding him to look what he's doing and keep the water in the sink. I just like teaching him to do things rather than telling him not to do things. I wonder if that's discipline?
