Featured Response😄
“Both Assigning and helping with household chores. We also don't like the word Chores as it always has a negative cogitation. It is the responsibility of everyone in the household to pitch in. We all help make the mess, then we all need to help clean it up. All the "chores" that are done have a component that the kids do. Laundry: one puts it in the wash basket, and another takes it out of the dryer when finished. Dishes: I leave kid-appropriate dishes at kid reach so they put those away when they are clean. Etc.”
I absolutely love how you've turned 'chores' into a family team effort, emphasizing contribution over obligation! It's such a positive way to teach responsibility. - Danielle 😊
