Recently I came across a post on a blog which detailed how kid’s often find fun in stuff that most adults find boring and have trialled it with some success!

Most parents try get their children into a daily routine for working and having fun together. (this also enables them to be subconsciously prepared for working life )

Most kids ages 3 and 7 are perfect to be big helpers although there is no age limit!! Even big kids like me can get in on the fun!

Stuff like folding their P.J.s, making breakfast and other morning chores can be done as group participation and gives children something to look forward to in the morning. It may be a bit more work for you but it will be worth it!

If you need to do some weeding and bush pruning get them involved. They’ll be excited to tell people about their accomplishments and share the stories of bugs, worms and bees they had encountered along the way.

Kids love to help and it enhances their sense of self-worth to be included in adult chores. The chore helper routine also keeps kids physically active and replaces sitting in front of the T.V. in the morning.

They are also learning skills they will need as adults and increasing their understanding of the world around them.

If you have any kids/chore stories please post a comment and say what your “chore story” is!
