Moms…What is the best way to get your kids to do chores?
I have four kids & between dance lessons, golf and school homework I don’t know when we can schedule a time for daily and weekend chores? What is the way you’ve been successful in getting your kids to participate & motivated to do their chores? Any suggestions would be so helpful! Thanks….websites book ideas are welcome too!
I LOVE this question. Even though the non-busy Saturday’s are few & far between – we always have a “Saturday Cleaning Day”. I created a table in Microsoft Word that lists all “cleaning day” chores in the house. The chores are broken down room by room and chore by chore. (Such as… dust living room, clean bathroom counter top, pick up shoe room, sweep shoe room, etc…) The table consists of a chore column, name column & done column. I print this table and put it on the counter. My children will go to the sheet, pick a chore and write their name next to the chore they are going to do… go do the chore… come back and but an “X” in the done column… then write their name next to another chore. We all continue until the sheet is complete and the house is sparkling. We try to make it a fun day by playing music and dancing around while we clean. The list has been a really neat thing, the kids don’t feel like I am telling them what to do and they are choosing their own chores. I am really glad I started this.
