I think that chores should start at a young age. I believe in teaching them early. I want to make her responsible.
Up until now her "chores" were just whatever I was telling her to do at the moment, but she thrives on schedules, routines, and organization.
So, I made a chore board. Since she cannot read yet, I used pictures to help her understand what chores she is supposed to do. I even included basic day to day activities such as brushing teeth and eating her meals!
Here is what I came up with!
I do not give her all the chores everyday, some of them are rotated around, like dusting and helping with the laundry! Here is a complete list of the chores that I have included on her board!!
- Help with laundry
- Eat breakfast
- Eat lunch
- Eat dinner
- Make your bed
- Take a nap
- Prayer Time
- Wipe off the dinner table
- Water the plants
- Take your vitamins
- Gather bathroom trash
- Clean your room
- Take a bath
- Brush teeth in the morning
- Brush teeth at night
- Learning Time
- Help with the dishes
- Pick up your toys
- Help set the table
- Read 3 books
- Dusting
- Exercise Time
- Get Dressed
She loves the board and it has helped us both make sure she has taken care of all of her responsibilities!!
