In any household, there’s a lot of work to be done. People can divvy up tasks, but who notices which tasks need doing?
In this episode of Best of Both Worlds, Sarah interviews Sam Kelly, a therapist who runs a course called Little Cycle Breakers. She shares strategies for getting kids to see what needs doing in a household and help in a way that lightens the parents’ mental load.
In the Q&A we talk about how to manage the situation when teens don’t want to participate in as many family activities because they are busy with school and other things.
Please give the episode a listen, and as always, we welcome feedback and reviews!
Well, thanks for this episode. I know there will be cases when one notices a thing that he/she thinks needs to be done, and only when he/she starts doing it does he/she realize that this thing does not need to be done at all or that it can be even counterproductive to do this thing. I also wonder what the divisions of labor will be if one is in high school and needs to prepare for a whole lot of things. But thanks for releasing this episode.
