Do I Have To? Kids Talk About Responsibility by Nancy Loewen has the premise of a 13 year old advice columnist who gives advice to younger students. Parents may find this book more useful than elementary school teachers. This book is appropriate for students in grades second through fifth grade. The "letters" cover various topics (a few include): responsibility of pet ownership, forgetting homework, having an irresponsible friend, overscheduling after-school activities, messy bedrooms, and wearing a helmet while bike riding. Parents can read this book cover to cover, while teachers may want to pick and choose which "letters" to read to their students.

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Magnetic Responsibility Chart.
$19.99
As a behavioral health counselor, I do not consider this a "toy." It is an attractive tool to increase responsible behaviors when used properly. This is great for ADHD and high functioning autism kids of ALL ages (teens tend to be immature in these categories and it is necessary to meet them at their current functional level) - and again when used properly. Some minor modifications are needed to have a functional chart, but most icons cover chores and expected behaviors. There are a couple blank icons so the caregiver can customize certain expectations they may have. Assigning a value to each token EARNED will accelerate progress (positive reinforcement - not bribes). Caregiver monitoring, consistency, and reinforcement is required or this chart will become useless at the fault of the caregiver.
