Pick Up Your Socks, And Other Skills
Growing Children Need!: A Practical
Guide to Raising Responsible
Children by Pati Casebolt
I Highly Recommend This Book!
Responsibility is a skill you can teach. Hard to believe? Not with the no-
nonsense advice in this classic book. For more than a decade, parents
have been relying on Elizabeth Crarys step-by-step guyide to getting kids
to both accept and learn responsibility. Whether youre teaching a small
child to pick up his socks or a teenager to handle peer pressure, youll
appreciate the real-life examaples, complete with consequences. Crary
also helps parents be realistic in their expectations. She explains normal
developmental stages and learning styles, so we understand how our kids
best absorb and retain information.
Personal Review: Pick Up Your Socks, And Other Skills
Growing Children Need!: A Practical Guide to Raising
Responsible Children by Pati Casebolt
I just finished reading "Pick Up Your Socks... and other skills growing
children need!: A Practical Guide to Raising Responsible Children" by
Elizabeth Crary. We use some of her books for preschool children and
their parents at work, so I picked up this one when I saw it at a used
bookstore. It's old enough that I thought it might be out of print, but it looks
like Amazon has it in stock.
Anyway, it's really interesting -- more than being just about chores, it's also
about practical ways of doing gentle discipline with school-aged kids and
teens, helping them become internally motivated, etc. It also has what I
thought was some useful info on the ages at which kids are commonly able
to start doing different chores with help, doing it on their own with
reminders, and doing it on their own completely independently. It's a very
practical, tips-based book, with detailed examples that take into account
different learning and communication styles. It also takes into account the
idea that different families will have different values and goals for their kids,
and so definitely isn't coming from that too-often irritating attitude of "XYZ
is what will be best for all families".
