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 differ depending on many factors, such as how many kids you have and how old they are, the layout of your home, whether or not you have pets, where you live, how much (or how little) your family is home, and how meticulous you intend to be with your housekeeping routine.
But to give you a guide to creating your chores list, I'd like to offer mine. The age recommendations are just that—recommendations. Your tidy 11-year-old who has been cleaning his room since age two can probably tackle some of the chores listed for teenagers if safety isn't an issue.
Conversely, if you've been your 13-year-old's maid since she was born, you might have to start her off with some of the simpler chores recommended for younger children.
Once a child reaches an individual skill or age level, he can generally do the tasks for his age group and those for the age groups below. This monthly house chores for kids schedule works best for me.
