My ideas for my coursework:


I was thinking of doing some questionnaires and asking people with children how they used to get their children to do housework and tidy their rooms etc. and whether they had to bribe them at all or not and how they would go about getting them to do what they wanted. I was thinking of asking a range of parents that I know that have different gender and aged children, also I was thinking of having a range of parents so young, older, single etc. and compare the difference between the language they chose to use for different aged and gendered children.
