I know what you’re thinking…. “Yeah, right!” Getting kids to do chores is a battle. And forget about them liking it. Looking back, I feel bad now about how horrible I was to my parents when they just asked me to do the dishes, or take out the trash, or feed the cat. But, it doesn’t have to be a fight! The key is incentives. Check out this post by Ursula at Homemade By Carmona for creative ways to get your kids excited about chores:
-Use a fun, colorful chore chart.
-Work for hire: pin money and chore names to a bulletin board, let the kids decide what they want to do.
-Practice consistency! Make it an every day habit
-Motivate: set goals and make sure that they are accomplished
-Reward: Sweet treats, fun activities, and hugs are great rewards.
