Do chore charts work?
Like everything else, learning to do chores is a habit that needs to be built for your child. Using a chore chart is a great visual way to remind your child of their daily chores!
One idea is to start with just one or two chores a day, and add on as your child gets more comfortable. We also like to turn our chores into a game to see who can finish them first. This is something the whole family can do!
Another idea is to also have chore charts for adults that live in the house, so that the children can also see their parents marking off their charts and everyone can join in. This is a great way to make everyone feel responsible for the smooth running of your home.
