Because you do them consistently without fail.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In our home, we\u2019ve got both adults and children with ADHD so being disciplined isn\u2019t really our easiest\u00a0 thing.\u00a0 That\u2019s why it\u2019s so incredibly important for us to teach and develop habits.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, having good habits frees up our minds to focus on things that matter, like remembering that doctor\u2019s appointment we scheduled today or that we\u2019ve got a 5-page essay due tomorrow.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When is the right age to start building habits?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s the thing, habits can be built as soon as we become capable of completing the tasks they require. \u00a0 For example, if your 2 year old can put her own cup in the sink after lunch, then you may want to begin teaching her to do that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the really good news is that it\u2019s never too late to start either. I\u2019ve spent a lot of my adult life developing habits that I should have had as a child.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Start\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you are just getting started it\u2019s a good idea to choose habits that are foundational and simple.\u00a0 It may also be a good idea to choose\u00a0 at least one thing that your child already does somewhat regularly.\u00a0 This will help build confidence and excitement. \u00a0 <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then choose a habit or two that you would like your child to start getting better about doing. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> For a young child, you may want to do something as simple as putting their plate in the sink after dinner, for an older child who\u2019s already built those simple habits, focus on more \u201cchore-like\u201d habits like putting away the dishes in the dishwasher.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strategies to develop good habits in kids.<\/h2>\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><em>This post was sponsored by 1Thrive.<\/em><\/pre>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">START SMALL:\u00a0 Starting with Small habits &amp; goals can help build confidence<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you are first starting with habit building, it\u2019ll be important for you to start really small.\u00a0 If your child is not even cleaning up after themselves on a regular basis, you won\u2019t want to expect them to do full blown chores like \u201cclean your room.\u201d\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, focus on individual skills that they should develop that will help them to keep their room clean.\u00a0 For example, put away your toys.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SET GOALS TOGETHER: Teaching kids to set smart goals will build life-long achievers<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your child is old enough to understand the idea of a \u201cgoal\u201d then they are old enough to help set them. \u00a0 This is a skill that will be invaluable in life.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When you are working on goal setting, focus on creating something measurable rather than focusing on the \u201cresult.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> For example, a good goal would be \u201cI will make my bed every morning for 30 days.\u201d\u00a0 A not great goal would be \u201cI\u2019ll learn to keep my room clean.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be their\u00a0 \u201cinner voice\u201d : Help them stay consistent by reminding and monitoring until the habit is built.<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When kids first start forming habits, they won\u2019t have the discipline and determination necessary to make sure they\u00a0 stay consistent. \u00a0 You\u2019ll need you to monitor that they stick to their habits consistently.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Without intentional reminders and consistency on your part, habits aren\u2019t very likely to be formed.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As your child grows, move from reminders and monitoring to just reminders and then eventually to allowing them to monitor on their own.\u00a0 Remember, this might be a long journey so don\u2019t be too hard on yourself or your kids while you\u2019re building up these skills.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Celebrate small victories<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you and your child are just starting out with habit building, congratulating them freely and frequently will encourage continued excitement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taking a moment to give a high five after they get one chore done takes very little effort on your part but can make a huge difference in how hard your kids will be willing to work. \u00a0 <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Young kids especially need a lot of immediate praise and encouragement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As your children get older, you may need to work a bit harder at this to make it meaningful.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consider making it a point to check their progress and give heartfelt praise like \u201cYou really did a great job on the dishes today, thanks for all your help!\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be Consistent and Patient<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the early stages of habit formation, kids need you to monitor that they carry out the behavior consistently. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without this, enough practice doesn\u2019t happen and habits are harder to establish. Just remember to ease out of monitoring as the habit takes hold.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Old habits die hard is a popular saying with a lot of truth in it. If you\u2019re replacing a bad habit with a good one, be prepared for this to take more time.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Track Habits and Give Rewards<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For some kids, intrinsic motivation (like giving praise or saying thank you) is all they\u2019ll need to be motivated towards success.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> But even if you\u2019re one of the lucky parents whose child falls into that category, it\u2019s still a great educational tool to teach them to track and reward themselves for achieving things.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even as adults, most of us live on the tracking and reward system. (ie \u2013 hours works = money made). \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At our house, we use apple cash on our children\u2019s iphones\/ipads as a reward system.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> It\u2019s a perfect system because it\u2019s really cash, that they can\u2019t lose, but that they are able to use for both digital and physical products! \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We also use our 1Thrive Command Center to track the habits we are working on right now. \u00a0 <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We call them \u201cchores\u201d in our house but in reality, we are working on teaching them things like brushing teeth without being asked and getting a shower each evening before bed.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How we Track Habits using our 1Thrive Command Center<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than purchasing a \u201cchore chart\u201d system. I wanted to use something that would fit well in our home long term, so I was specifically looking for the right command center to fit our needs.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, we decided to go with a 1Thrive Command Center because we like the idea that the <a href=\"https:\/\/shareasale.com\/r.cfm?b=1751247&amp;u=1772868&amp;m=95931&amp;urllink=&amp;afftrack=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">whole system can be customized and that the elements are interchangeable<\/a>, and that we can continue to add on to our command center as our needs change.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/NuG_2t3x8puJIkzLJPRr2O9dv0U_Jy2xH93zyr5V1d-Aor7dOkaqeI0ieOtZU8tSJRuhtS7-SXmlZJTdZMFWvej4YAS2rbLEMK0F123hCezOLaVO9oLF-hYOvGTmepea4TaqPBTs\" alt=\"\" data-pin-description=\"Teaching kids how to develop good habits?
