[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a mom and quite conscious of teaching my child, age 4, to chip in around the house and clean up after himself. Any suggestions on how to get him to do chores without bribing? He is dressing himself, picking up and folding most of his clothes (though it takes reminders, which I think is OK at this age), and setting the table. Recently, however, getting him to set the table and to do additional chores like helping to clean has become a battle. Any tips on how to get preschoolers to do chores without bribing and battling?[/quote]

My previous charge was 4 years old and what helped to motivate her was a chore chart which basically listed her chores or responsibilities for the day (some some examples of what was on her chart were things like no whining, no hitting, cleaning up toys, etc.). At the end of the day we reviewed her chart and she got a magnet put next to each chore or responsibility that she succeeded in that day. It could also work with a sticker. This would not work for all kids but it was a motivator for her. [/quote]
