[quote=Anonymous]Starting at around 2 they have to clean up their toys. By 5, I expect them to set and clear the table, make their bed, and put their clothes away. At 6, they are responsible for getting up for school on their own, getting ready, and packing their lunch bags, keeping their room clean. At 9, they learn to cook simple items (scrambled eggs, and toast, dumplings, spaghetti bolognese), wash dishes, take the trash out, run the washer/dryer etc. By 11, they are responsible, and fairly independent. When they're little, they're always eager to help and learn. Start young, and it becomes the normal routine, and never a struggle IME.[/quote]
