Hello VirtuallyMe. In Virtual Families 2, it is the player who shapes the behavior of the little people through use of the green Praise glove and the red Scold glove. Use the green glove to praise the peeps for the behaviors you want to reinforce, and the red glove to discourage behaviors that you may find displeasing. After your little person has prepared a meal, try dropping them at the table and praising them once their action is “Sitting down to a meal.” You may have to repeat the training several times before the desired behavior, in this case “Sitting down to a meal,” occurs autonomously after the peep has prepared a meal. I hope this helps.
