I feel awful talking to my clients about their attempts to date these days. I have to honestly prepare them for the most likely outcome with any connection: being ghosted. I tell my younger clients “It wasn’t always like this. I promise. And healthy people exist. They are just harder to find.”

Been reading The Danish Secret to Happy Kids where I learned that Danish kids cook one meal a night for the family each week.

Me to my 13 year-old: “What do you think? Want to cook dinner once a week as a new responsibility?”

Teen: “Added to my existing chores? Not really, no.” (He also empties the dishwasher and cleans the cat boxes multiple times a week.)

Me: “Not for free. As you get older and more responsible, and take over some of the work that Dad and I have done up till now, you should also have access to more good stuff, too. How’s an extra $10 a week sound?” (Doubled weekly allowance, half of which goes into his savings account.)

Teen: “You got it!”

And so a new tradition is born…

Bonus for Art and Soul clients- we can offer you a free box of Hello Fresh. See how much you can STEP BACK and let your tween or teen accomplish with the right ingredients and instructions.

Give your kids room to fail. They may end up surprising you and themselves!
