Have some fun with the training!

                When teaching a child a new responsibility, it can actually be fun to have training sessions. You can pretend that you are doing a television documentary such as, “Taking out the garbage through the ages.” It might sound something like this:

DAD: Primitive man threw his trash outside his cave.
MOM: We are much more sophisticated and sanitary.
DAD: This is what we do …

               Then he demonstrates properly securing the bag, carrying it to the trash can, then placing a fresh bag in the can.

               Teaching a lesson on how to clean the bathroom might sound like this:

DAD: Scrubbing bubbles alone won’t clean the bathroom—they need your help!
MOM: This is how we clean the bathroom. Observe the following … Scrub, scrub, scrub!
