Introduction

Checklists can reduce the amount of nagging necessary to get younger family members, or perhaps even other family members, to do what they need to. Most kids will also do their home work, shower, write thank you notes to their grandparents and even wipe the tooth paste out of the sink if they are reminded to. But only a rare few will do all o these tasks entirely independently. The question is whether you want the tasks done or you want them done without reminders. If you are holding out for the no reminders goal, you are going to be constantly angry about stuff not getting done.
