We use a rotation chart and it works WONDERS. You don't need anything fancy.. we just use cardstock cutouts with our names on them and they velcro to the chart. The kids spend all week anticipating which job they have and planning for it. It's fantastic.<br /><br />During the last conference, Elder Bednar (I believe) spoke about this same subject. He recalled how his family was during FHE, scriptures, prayer.... all he noticed was the fighting and screaming and tickling and yelling because one kid was invading another kids space. He felt like he was failing, but he just kept at it. As adults, his kids remember that they spent time together as a family, and that's what really matters the most.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17762162246943671591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111959418563495652.post-37484163752475604542010-02-18T18:48:20.758-08:002010-02-18T18:48:20.758-08:00I have to say that what Jane has said has worked w...I have to say that what Jane has said has worked well in our family. We have four children, ages 6, 5, 3, and 2 and we use a chart. We always have a short lesson, a game (the kids usually pick hide-and-seek) and a treat. They love being involved and even the 2-year-old gets the lesson every 6 weeks. Usually when it's her turn, it's a picture that she picks out and I help her tell about it. But they look forward to it every week.JennaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10724959154514125980noreply@blogger.com
