Monthly House Chores For Kids
By Age

Monthly house chores for kids by age. Your family's monthly house chores list is sure to be very different from my family's list.

Your list will vary depending on many factors, such as the number of kids you have and their ages, the layout of your home, whether you have pets, your location, how often your family is home, and how detailed you want your cleaning routine to be.

To help you create your chores list, I'd like to share mine. The age recommendations are simply suggestions. Your well-cleaned 11-year-old who has been tidying their room since age two can probably handle some chores meant for teenagers if safety isn't a concern.

On the other hand, if you've been doing everything for your 13-year-old since she was born, you might want to start her with some simpler chores suited to younger children.

Once a child reaches a certain skill level or age, they can generally do tasks appropriate for their age and those below it. This monthly house chores for kids schedule works best for me.
