What chores should I assign my kids?

Here are appropriate household chores to assign your kids age by age. Chores for Toddlers: It’s never too early to begin, but let’s be realistic about what this age can do. Do not expect a toddler to do any “chore” on his own and if they do it’s no more than a minute or two.

The point at this age is just to model you and pretend to help. Here’s how:Toddlers love to help and learn best by copying and working next to you. So purchase a pint-size broom, rake, or vacuum (that looks like Mommy’s).

Your little one can grab his broom and copy you. Set out a special box, bin or basket for your toddler to help you put her toys away. Chores for Preschoolers: If you want your preschooler to succeed, first show them exactly how to do the task so they succeed.

Here are a few appropriate chores:Set and clear the table and fold napkins: Be on the lookout for placemats that provide inked-in outlines of a fork, knife, spoon and plate. Sponge off tables and counters: Hand your kid a damp sponge and a squirt bottle filled with water and let him go to town cleaning away. Pick up toys: Provide a box, basket, or bin for your child to put away her toys.

Chores for School-Age Kids: School-age kids are ready to help out in the household as well as some simple yard work. Go through each new chore step by step with your child so that she clearly knows how to do it. Then observe her doing it at least once to make sure she can handle it.

Gradually increase your expectations based on success. Routine household chores: Set and clear table, put dishes in dishwasher, put clean ones away, vacuum, dust, and sweep. Meals: Make their lunch and be responsible for cooking one simple part of evening meal which does not have to involve a stove.

Pet care: Feeding, taking the dog on a walk, brushing, bathing, cleaning out cage or just petting and playing with the animal. Chores for Preteens and Teens : In a few short years this same kid is probably will be living on her own. So think of assigning chores to help prepare your son or daughter for independent living.

Here are items to consider:Cooking: Learning a few basic cooking recipes to cook alone. Laundry: Completely doing their own laundry. Bathroom: Cleaning their shower, toilet, tub.

Car care: When she gets that license make her responsible for maintaining car appearance, filling it with gas, even taking in for service.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
