Chores and Kids:
How to Divvy Them Up

Chores: How to Divvy Them Up. I've found a good rule of thumb for determining the number of tasks that can be reasonably expected of a child is his or her age, divided by two, then rounded up when needed.

Using this system, an 8-year-old with six siblings would have the same number of things to do as an 8-year-old only child.

The point is not just to get the work done; the point is to teach your child responsibility and to get some work done.

After all, if you have only one child, it hardly seems fair to saddle her with the entire home's cleaning.

If it's to be successful, the list must be both fun and fair. Start by trying these 3 successful strategies for getting kids to do chores.
