Try making a game out of it

When you try to teach your young child to be responsible and you just don't get anywhere, what can you do?

Well, many times turning a teaching situation into a game is the best way to get results.

Sometimes, kids have a hard time learning and remembering the things their parents tell them.

It's not that they're trying to be rebellious — they simply forget to hang up the towel or to come to dinner on time. In cases like this, you might try making a game out of it.

Kids love all sorts of contests and games, especially if adults will play along with them.

If you're struggling to teach your kids a lesson in responsibility and you're not getting anywhere, try turning it into a game, and see how little fun can make a child eager to learn.
