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.
Which chore chart is best for me and my family?
We found so many great chore chart ideas, and there isn’t a single best one! Printable chore charts are a great way to get started, and you can even put them in a page protector and use dry erase markers on them to re-use them.
If you’re new to chore charts, evaluate them on a weekly basis as a family. It may take you a while to find the perfect one, and you may find that everyone works best with something slightly different.
