Humans are notorious for being creatures of habit. We all have our parking spot, pew in church, and seat at the dinner table.

A Minute to Win It [One Minute Feature]

Sometimes, though, arguments over these preferred seating arrangements can ensue between our kids. Today, we’re providing you with a strategy that will not only cut down on these types of arguments, but also ensure your home is sparkling clean.

Strategies for Reducing Arguments Over Seat Placement at Home

Are your kids always fighting over a certain chair or place on the couch to watch TV or play video games? If so, and you’re tired of being a musical chairs referee, consider a policy that allows your kids just one minute for getting the problem worked out on their own.

If nothing is resolved in a minute, one of two things can happen: all parties are confined to the floor, or the TV/ video game is no longer an option for entertainment. Instead, it gets replaced with a household chore for each of the kids involved. A few of these interventions, and, in due time, your kids will increase their problem-solving skills, while you get your house cleaned.

"It is such a wonderful, God inspired thing you have done to help all of these children. I think people would love to read your book and learn more. You have helped changed so many lives, people will want to realize & learn about the work you are doing. It is so important." - Doris Newcomb, WFAX
"When I met the kids (at SHA), and saw the glow of transformation on their faces, it spoke to me that Shepherd's Hill Academy was more than 'Just what the doctor ordered.' It is a holistic, spiritual and therapeutic approach to healing that provides an atmosphere for learning and a proving ground for the uncompromising time-tested truths of scripture." - John Rosemond, American Columnist
