Teaching kids good habits is much harder than it looks. When I was younger, I hated eating veggies, and refused to clean my room or help with chores. My parents tried all the tricks in the book: they tried grounding me, taking away privileges, giving rewards, and setting ultimatums. Usually, it worked. Now I eat a little healthier (only because I know it’s for my own good now; I STILL hate veggies), and I pick up after myself like a real adult! However, I know my parents would have had an easier time if they had seen some of these Buzzfeed hacks:
-Hide healthy vegetables in desserts and smoothies. Try spinach brownies or zucchini crisp.
-Teach saving habits early with a compartmentalized piggy bank. (seen in picture)
-Change the wifi password and make them do chores in exchange for it
-ANY chore can become a game. Get creative!
