In just this single chapter (15 pages!), you'll learn:

-How to form precise expectations and figure out exactly what you want
-What not to do (how to phrase your expectations so kids will successfully meet them)
-Why you should be cautious about misusing the term "we"
-How to use a variety of signals to facilitate routines
-The art of replacing nagging and criticism with performance feedback
-The 8 steps for teaching ANY procedure you want kids to follow

-The key to revising your criteria without confusing kids or seeming incompetent
-What to do when kids don't meet your expectations (repeat the practice, not the command)
