5 ways to get kids to do chores throughout the week!
List the day, the person who will do chores and the chores to be done. MAKE A CHORE CHART. WRITE THE VISION AND MAKE IT PLAIN (HABBAKUK 2:2)
01
DO TRAINING FOR EACH CHORE. TRAIN THE CHILD IN THE WAY THEY SHOULD GO.
02
Most of the time we as parents dictate what to do without realizing the child doesn't know how to do the chore the way you would like to get it done.
They might not know where the supplies are or how much to use and frustration can arise because we didn't explain these things.
Train your child(ren) in each chore with how to properly wash dishes and load the dishwasher, how to do laundry, how to clean the bathroom and how the room should look etc.. Make sure they know where all the supplies are that are safe for them to use and they know how to properly use each thing and how much to use each thing and where to put them away.
Show them where all the soiled rags and sponges, paper towels go so they don't have it all over the house
INCLUDE YOURSELF. WORK TOGETHER AS A FAMILY (GALATIONS 6:2)
03
When you are cleaning the house together as a family it can make you feel accomplished and at peace. This will also help to not overwhelm anyone with a load of chores to do
BE CONSISTENT. KEEP UP THE MOMENTUM (GALATIONS 6:9, MATTHEW 5:37)
04
REWARDS ARE GREAT. (COLOSSIANS 23-24). HEY CHILDREN, CHORES AREN'T ALL BAD! Don't just start strong with a new routine, hang in there and watch it become a daily routine.
