[quote=Anonymous]I'm sort of in the middle. I ask mine, as part of their morning routine, to make their beds before they leave for school, and to make sure that all dirty clothes are in the hamper and clear clothes in closets/drawers. They mostly do this, albeit in a haphazard way, and that's fine with me. By doing this, they seem to have a better sense of where things are (it's cut down on tearing the room apart for missing shoes when we're late for something, for example!) but I think it also instills in them that they need to be responsible or taking care of their things. Same goes for toys/common spaces. I think routine chores are an important part of learning responsibilities and growing up.[/quote]
