While we suddenly find ourselves grown-up, when we look back, we remember that we too, did a lot of chores as a kid. But now, the kids need to understand the value of time and money. That is where the chore charts come to help. My girls, 7 and 3, get ready to school using a chore chart. And just before leaving I would mark stars for all the work they’ve completed. I just browsed the net and found some chore charts (my kids liked the designs in the website kidrewardzone). We filled up the chores and columns to mark a star in each chore. There is a minus for each negative behavior, like tantrums, not using dustbins for trash, and so on. They would get bucks for each star minus each negative mark. A trip to the park on Saturday, if BOTH get all the stars (here I don’t count the negatives)for the week. Now, there are no arguments, yelling, and shouting. Its only “YAAAAYYY…”

You’re on the ball with this one! Getting your kids to do household chores has less to do about the chores themselves and more to do with the kids learning to do ‘things’ for themselves and that someone won’t always be around to do stuff for them… a great lesson to learn.

Making a contribution to the family by doing helpful things around the house serves a dual purpose. It not only helps children learn responsibility, but it also helps boost their self-esteem. In Redirecting Children’s Behavior(tm) we define self-esteem as feeling lovable and capable. When a child dusts, sets the table, helps cook dinner, or mows the lawn, he feels capable, valuable, powerful, and that he belongs. All great! There are many ways to handle a child’s misbehavior that foster high self-esteem. We have a nationally available teleseminar on February 20th called Disciplining for High Self-Esteem. It is a fun and interactive live workshop. If you would like to know more please check http://www.wholeheartedparenting.com.

It is very important for kids to well in school rather than know how to clean the house. I know first hand.
