M: (24) Practice being aware of your anger before it boils over. You can even say, "I’m feeling really frustrated right now!" This will help showing your kids how to express frustration in a healthy way.

W: Why don’t they work?
M: Kids who receive rewards often tend not to learn the real value of their work.  (25) Kids should learn to work around the house because that’s what families do—not because they get paid for it.
