Have you ever noticed that when you want your kids (or spouse or anyone, for that matter) to get something done, that the more you yearn for them to get started and finish it up, the more they resist and drag their feet?
Kids love these chicken tacos, and adults enjoy its Tex-Mex flavors and ease of preparation. The spicing is mild to appeal to young palates, but the heat is easily bumped up with the addition of a jalapeño or chipotle pepper or spicy salsa as a garnish.
Expecting kids to never complain about helping out around the house is probably unrealistic. After all, adults experience days when lying in bed and watching television or reading a book is much more appealing than being productive. But trying to get your children to do chores like mowing the lawn, taking out the trash, cleaning their rooms or picking up toys does not have to be a battle every time. There are some strategies parents can adopt to help inspire children to want to take responsibility and complete chores around the house.
