Homemaking is a family effort. Training children to do chores can be a lot of work. Working to get someone else to do work...we often resort to just doing it ourselves. Yes, it can be easier but not the best choice.
Here is an idea for older children who enjoy technology to encourage and train them in the area of chores.
This is a FREE website that is very easy to navigate. You, as the parent, set up the account. You will add your children's names including a photo and their own password. (I used their birthdays - ex. August2)
Once that is set up, you will enter various chores for each child. You will also put if they are AM or PM chores. Some may be both such as brushing their teeth.
The work is done! When a child has completed their chores in the morning, they will log in to their account and mark off the chores done. Each chore is worth a certain number of points.
You can then create a point system of what they can earn based on the points you decide.
It really is a fun system for tech savvy kiddos! Older kids can also help younger siblings.
Perhaps this website can work for you. Try it out today!
