[quote=Anonymous]My 7 year old: 1) makes sure his coat and backpack and shoes are put in the right place when he comes home. 2) cooks often (with supervision), but he's done some pretty advanced stuff (he enjoys it). 3) sets the table 4) clears his plate 5) helps carry bags in from grocery store 6) cleans up his playroom (toys, not vacuuming or dusting). 7) helps with some yard work like raking leaves and putting down mulch 8) loves to shovel snow. He's not tall enough to make his bed, which is pushed up against the side of the wall. I view chores as (1) learning to do housework and other necessary tasks to run a household, and (2) a way to teach teamwork. But I also want to prioritize schoolwork as his major job, so I don't envision him doing as many chores as a child as I did. He's watched one PG 13 movie and that was OK. (Hobbit). But I'm not encouraging it. [/quote]
