[quote=Anonymous]I am really bad at anything that requires monitoring, so we don't have a chore chart or anything. Kids are 7, 5 and 2. They just do everyday stuff that is part of being a family, adn they also do extra stuff that we ask them to do. Regular chores - clear plates, set table, feed dog, pick up toys, pick up room, help me strip the sheets, clean the toilet, take out trash/recyling, sweep leaves off of porch. Extra stuff gets done when necessary - yard work, hanging Xmas lights, help prepare dinner. I give them age-approrpiate tasks to 'own'. For example, 7 year old is in charge of monitoring the Xmas tree stand this year and keeping it filled. He is flushed with pride at this task and the importance of it. :) [/quote]
