Sexymama's advice is exactly how I have been rasing both of my children and I have received *many* compliments on how well behaved and responsible my 10-year-old son is... my two year old is still a work in progress...
EULA... I know where you are coming from, believe me I once thought as you... then I had kids. The method sexymama has suggested give ownership and responsibility to the child while setting boundaries...
The key to having a free thinking and acting child is to instil them with a solid sense of right and wrong and a sense of communal responsibility (i.e. we all live in this house and picking up after yourself is part of what it means to live here)...
So far, this method is working well.
