Whose Job Is It? Teaching Kids Responsibility for Their Stuff | Episode 439

Do your children take care of their belongings? Dr. Roger Smith shares a guiding family motto: "The more you have, the more you have to take care of." This episode outlines how to intentionally transfer the concept of personal responsibility to your children's possessions, from toys to bikes. Learn how to involve your kids in the repair process when things are broken or neglected—even enlisting experts if needed. Dr. Smith advises starting with small, modeled steps (like cleaning a room together) and gradually creating distance, ensuring your teaching is guided by a positive concern for their future, not punishment.
