Chore Charts
Chore charts can help keep
your life organized, teach your child about responsibility and how to
be a part of a family.
Any
given moment in our lives can become a teaching moment, we simply have
to take the T.I.M.E.. This rule especially
applies when we first introduce the notion of household
responsibility to our children.
Here is
a simple way to go about it:
A
rule of thumb in our home is: "Sharing
is Caring". We share our toys, food, T.V. time and so on.
We share everything, which also means sharing the
responsibilities around the house.
At
the moment my son Eytan has two 'jobs'. Setting the table and
putting
the dishes away.
My Rules
Are:
- Preschoolers should have anywhere from
two to four household responsibilities.
- Chores should be viewed as
responsibilities and not as WORK.
- Do not forget to show your appreciation
and thank your child when they complete the task. A little bit of
praise
can go a long way.

appropriate chores for preschoolers.
