TRY IT!

Do you have more than one child?
Now days, it is very hard to teach our kids the real values that we learned growing up.
For example , how to be responsible early in life? how to care about others? how to be able to share things? how to follow rules and guidelines?....
Our kids are spoiled, we spoil them, the environment spoil them, and the modern life spoil them. The material things are necessary for them to be normal.
They grow up thinking, that they go first no matter what, that they have to have things their way, that they know better just like that,...
But how can we brake this cycle of selfishness? 
Here is a good tip that will make your kids learn that life is about others too.
Make your kids share everything, they have to share their room, their toys and the things that they scherich the most.
If you have a room for each kid, here is what you should do, have them share one room to sleep, and the other to play. You will have a room called bedroom, where they have a joint closet, where they will have to sleep together, and learn to respect each others needs. The other room will be called playroom where they will share toys , computer and desk , this room will make them learn that there are others that want things too, he or she will have to make room for her or his brother or sister, they will have to accept that to be able to have what they want, they have to let other have it too. And best of all, no toys, books or any item that belongs in that room is allowed outside that room, you will instantly get rid of that messy living room, it is a good way to make them follow your rules, they will have to clean that room, it will be their responsibility, they will understand that if they share the fun they will have to share the cleaning too.
Think about it , sharing a bedroom will make them care about each others comfort and needs, and sharing a playroom will make them give to others, respect others, be responsible and learn that life is about others too.
Until next time, do what is best for your kids now, and prepare them to be part of this messy world we live in.
Love your kids , and do what is best for them.
