Becoming a responsible person comes from observation and practice! All children desire the gratification of being recognized for good works. When a child is given the opportunity to be a caretaker, recognition for good efforts gives the child pride and reinforces good habits for future efforts. It is a child's natural instinct to please. Learning the value of being responsible is so important for youngsters!
