Today we started chores and I showed Gabe his chore chart. This is actually new to us because Gabe is still young, but I do believe that starting children young with some housework is a great way for them to learn many life skills. Plus, they feel great when they achieve their tasks and let's face it, it helps me out. lol!
I feel that playing video games is a privilege that he needs to earn SO...
...the chores we’ve started with are:
- help make bed
- feed Calie
- take dishes to the kitchen (after breakfast, lunch, and dinner), and
- pick up toys (before bed time)
When he accomplishes a task, he gets a sticker in the alloted square for that day. At the end of the day, we count up the stickers. For every sticker, he gets a 5 mins of game playing time.
He was pretty excited about it this morning. We shall see if that will continue.
