Raising Accountable Kids


I have been wanting to review this for some time now. Kari and I purchased this last year at the last MACHE conference and have been using it since, and have referred a number of other families to the program. I feel the Accountable Kids program is a great asset and every family should consider using it. It is more than a chore chart. It is a program for intentionally raising kids that are responsible. I would highly recommend this program to anyone.

Description from their website:

Accountable Kids is a unique parenting program designed to teach accountability and responsibility in the home.  It is a back-to-basics system which includes essential principles and concrete parenting tips for strengthening relationships and building a foundation for success; an ideal program for ADHD natural treatment therapy. Children learn to balance choices and consequences in a fun, productive manner.  They experience the joy of being a vital, contributing member of the family and develop confidence and self-worth.   The Accountable Kids program provides everything parents need to maximize efforts and bring structure and harmony into the home.

The final goal of the AK program is for children to discover that some of the most important rewards come from within. The AK program uses life lessons of completing jobs, earning privileges, displaying positive behaviors, and working for future rewards to develop positive character traits. Parents learn how children think, reason, and perceive life through fun experiments and simple psychological theories. The Accountable Kids program is divided into four basic steps. Each step introduces new concepts and tools to help parents take accountability to the next level. 

Here is the Quick start preview to give you a better overview.

Life Without Limits

After this past week I felt that this video was a good one to post. For those that may not know; Sunday Kari went into the hospital and didn't get home until Thursday afternoon, the van broke down Wednesday, Thursday I woke up with the flu and with sales being slow we were late with the rent. It was a bad week to say the least. But you know, it is easy to ask God, "Why?" or even blame Him for your situations. Because it is hard to trust Him and learn to rest in Him through the storm. All throughout the week when I began to worry and stress the Holy Spirit kept reminding me "The Lord is my Shepard". I hate learning trust, and apparently I am a very slow study :) No matter what you might be going through remember that God IS your Shepard and He IS looking out for you, He IS in control and He IS good.

Enjoy the show.
