Fish? Really?

You want to teach your kids responsibility, but you have no idea how to begin.

Are they old enough? Mature enough?

A good way to start to teach your kids responsibility is to get a fish.

There are a lot of different things that a fish can teach.

Your child will have to feed it every day, make sure that the water is changed regularly and make sure that it is kept safe.

And if the fish for some reason does not make it, they are cheap enough to hop on out to buy a new one.

You don't think that they are old enough to give them enough (and not too much) food each day?

Find a weekly dispensing pill container with the days of the week printed on each day. Place just enough food for each day in to the coordinating date of the container. Now when it comes time for your tot to feed the fish there is the exact amount of food for it, and you don't have to worry about "How many times was the fish fed today?"
