How would you inspire your child...

hehe. I think I found out where the kids started "lose" some of their enthusiasm... when the SUV got included in their regimen. :D I guess it will come back when they get the green light to start using the SUV independently.

if they are old enough (at least early teens) it's simple - "anak, this will be your car soon. don't you want it to look nice?"

otherwise, there are always the good old reliable options - bribery and/or threats

For as long as I could remember, Sundays was car wash day for our family. My Dad used to tell me that I can't have my own car until I learn how to take care of it so I was 8 or 9 pa lang I was already helping my Dad out. It taught me to be responsible plus it was great bonding time for us. I also know that it makes my Dad happy when he sees me cleaning the car so I usually do it voluntarily esp when I need to make lambing my Dad.

I guess what your friend could do is to show his children that it really pleases him to see them cleaning their cars or if he's a car enthusiast, he could introduce the children to his passion.

Fix your power steering/aircondition problem yet?
