Discipline, friendships and getting kids to help around the house

make joy normal: cozy homeschooling

In question one, we talk a lot about managing chores and developing a system for busy family life.
Question two is about managing behaviour without using rewards and consequences, aka "carrot and stick" methods. What works when you don't want to use coercive disciplinary options.
Third question, we chat at length about helping kids develop healthy friendships.
Last question, how do we find things that bring us joy?
