Positive Parenting
Praise and motivate your child, after they have completed even the smallest of tasks. No matter how small the task is to you, it's a big deal to your child. In order to boost confidence in your child, use uplifting positive phrases which will improve their behavior.
One thing you may choose to do is make up a behavioral chart for your child to follow daily or weekly. Place a happy face or star for every day they've earned it. Reward your child at the end of the week for they're good behavior. Don't go overboard in the reward department though. Staying up an extra 15 minutes, reading another book before bed are two great ways to reward a child. This does work, and the reason I know is because my daughter is doing this for my 5 year old grandson.

There's Always Something
Just when you think you can't add another chore, activity or PTA meeting, something always comes up. Never sacrifice your family time. You have 24 hours in a day, as everyone else does, so how you choose to spend it, depends entirely on your priorities. Simply put, organize, and the rest will fall into place. As you better manage your time, you will see that you begin saving hours in your day that can be used for higher priority things, no matter what they are . Everyone has different priorities, what are yours?
