Do the chore chart, it will help them learn how to care for themselves but be realistic with the chores. Make a list of the various chores around the house sit everyone down and draw a name out of a hat as to who picks first and so on, have everyone take turns picking a chore, mom and dad included! Then let them pick their reward for a job well done, it could be stickers worth money twords a fun purchase at the end of the month one month, it could be an outting with mom and dad to a pizza place. Change them often, keep it exciting. And also give them a chance to change their chores once and a while. You can also do extra points, where that child would earn a special reward for doing something to help out his/her siblings or mom and dad. |
