Truthfully, though, we all need accountability in some form or another. I would like to share a few accountability measures that I have used for myself and my children. Accountability means answering to someone else for our actions. I also like to view my evaluator as my friend not a heavy. So I have established several accountability measures for our family.
Contests are a great accountability tool to use.
Deadlines are important to me. I like the sense of accomplishment when I have finished a project on time. I have noticed the same feeling of elation in my children when, say, the Pentel art project was in the mail on time. Finally, the research project on Integrated Pest Management was finally typed, proofread for the umpteenth time, and ready to send. Contests are also a great tool for gauging quality control.
