The Powerful Word of the Month is Dependability! Today, I’m answering a question from Nancy, a parent in Morristown, NJ, about how to teach children to become dependable.
Dear Dr. Robyn,
My child is still pretty young but I would like him to learn to be dependable now instead of waiting until he is older. My sister’s son is 12 and seems to have never learned his lesson. She always has to bail him out of some mess he’s gotten into and he resents it when she even proposes that he takes responsibility for his actions. She bribes him constantly and the stakes just seem to be getting higher. What needs to be done in order to help my child learn these skills?

Warm regards,
