Your child will learn responsibility through
understanding why we have to be responsible
for things.

Explain to them the ways in which you are responsible for them.

One of the best ways to teach responsibility is to make a To Do list and ensure it is completed each day.

Praise every success and award prizes and points each week, but do not bribe with rewards. This method of reinforcement is central to all the other values.

When they are old enough, then letting them have a pet such as a goldfish to look after can be a great way to teach responsibility for other living things.
