[quote=Anonymous]Maybe start with something small and easier.  Colored laundry every x day.  She has to sort her laundry and put in the washer by x day, otherwise it won't get done.

My kids are 7 and 10, and if they are home when I do laundry I tell them to sort their laundry and put it in the communal basket.  Then I take it to the machine.  Whatever doesn't get washed, they won't have it until I do laundry the next time.  If they are home when I am putting away laundry, I tell them to do their own.

You said she gets no allowance, but I assume her cellphone is paid for by you.  Tell her that she is now old enough to help the family out.  She needs to earn those text messages like in the real world.  I make my kids help me shovel snow, for example.  The younger one doesn't do a whole lot but it's the act that she is part of the family, which includes helping the family.  They also rake leaves and help in the garden.  I'm sure you can find things for her to do around the house.[/quote]
