I am just now starting to get strict with my 6 year old. I can tell I have spoiled her by her "do nothing but for herself" attitude. Granted that is passable for a 6 year old but I don't want her to stay spoiled so she now cleans her room and is finally actually doing a good job after 6 months of training and grounding and arguing. Now she also cleans the cat box and sweeps the floor, I am going to continue to add more as she gets older. The way I work it is I won't take her to do anything fun until her chores are done, as minute as they are, it still works
