[quote=Anonymous]We make a list with the kids at the beginning of the weekend for all the things we want and need to do that day, like chores/cleaning, homework, playing with toys, and other things like arts and crafts or baking cookies. We then schedule it (ex. Get clothes, backpack and lunch ready for school: 10:00-10:30). The schedule really works. Obviously, we might over/underschedule, so we try to be flexible . It motivates the kids towards their next play break and makes it seem less daunting. Leave your evenings free for something fun like movie night or bowling. The problem is when they get older and don't do regular maintenance cleaning, like making beds or putting away dirty clothes. If you insist on those tasks getting done throughout the week, weekends can be saved for only the deeper cleanings.[/quote]
