Would you not ask your 6 year old to clean up their toys after play for example? I personally feel its good parenting.

because#19 it teaches them at a young age responsibility.

Really? "Brush your teeth." "Pick out some clothes to wear." "Quiet now, it's time for bed." All reasonable things to ask a six year old to do. I highly doubt she's asking her to remodel the house or anything else outlandish.

Lay off, it's been a while since I was six. And I never really considered this. Meh, good thing I know I would be a shitty parent. And banned children because of that. Still better than most parents, though.

Exactly, order them. You're supposed to be the one in charge.

This. Just because she's six doesn't give her a free pass to do whatever she likes, especially if it's a non-negotiable thing like listening to her parents. Kids need boundaries & if they don't learn to follow rules when little, they'll only get worse as they grow up.

Exactly. Or else they become crappy, self-entitled adults that the rest of the world has to deal with.
