[quote=Anonymous]I write out various chores on index cards and say “pick two” or “pick one” depending on how much the kids have going on. The expectation is they need to contribute to our family but also gives them some agency. I’ll say “must be done by 8” or whatever. Walking the dog once/day is on top of this. Even on the busiest days, a kid can do 1 thing. In the summer they do more, sometimes with an incentive at the end, sometimes not. Also connection is key—the more connected you are, the less fuss you will get. And id be real honest about what you have on your plate like someone mentioned. Also the 10 minute pick up that someone mentioned helps immensely [/quote]
