Directions:
Name your child "Princess for the day." Let her know that as princess, she will have to make some important decisions for the day, and that she will have to help work out any problems that come up.
Begin at breakfast, by letting your child choose what you will serve to the family. Remind your child that the breakfast should be healthy foods, so that everyone has a good start to the day.
Throughout the day, give your child the responsibility to make other decisions, such as whether to go to the park or a friend's house after school. If any problems or conflicts arise in the family, encourage your child to think of ways to solve them.
At the end of the day, ask your child to help you plan a special princess dinner. At dinner, talk about all the important decisions she made throughout the day, and let her know what a fine princess she was.
