In order to teach the children that they can’t just expect a free ride in this life, we have instituted chores. They have always had to clean the table after eating, help bring their laundry upstairs, and other little things, but this was real work.
Brian bought a few Lego PS3 games on sale last week, which caused Kailan to salivate and fidget. He wanted to play them…BAD. In order to play them, he had to vacuum and fold laundry. He got ‘er done post haste, so he could conquer Star Wars Legos.
Proof that you can teach a child to help with the housework. It’s all about the motivation.
Love it!! We use Wii Mario Kart as motivaton ALL the time for Miller. I say whatever works. Kai looks like he is doing a very good job vacuuming.
Yep. whatever works..:o)
unfortunately in my case it was usually a board.:o( (slow learner) LOL
At least I didn’t have to ride the short bus…..ROFL
