I call chores"home blessings"and they get home blessings prizes monthly, usually something 5 or less per kiddo, throughout the month we talk about why we do them and how mommy also blesses the home in other ways, sometimes they do extra at will but the main goals are making the bed, keeping toys in the bin and putting trash away. Otherwise between helping with dishes, transferring laundry from washer to dryer and taking out the trash and recycle the day before the collectors come, that's how we do it💜🏡💕
I subscribed just bc you talked about positive reinforcement with your kids. I have twins who are 6 yrs old and I sometimes will go so over the top "omg your sooooo smart; or fast; or your the best vaccumer ever!" I love to them blush a little and say "mom it's so easy tho" and I'll say "well yeah bc your so good at it!!" I was abused when I was young and I wished I could hear someone's silly dramatic compliments of what I was doing.
Having labeled toy bins grouped by category has been super helpful with toy cleanup! I labeled with a picture of what goes in the IKEA bins, also the word.
I love this video. We have a 3yo and 5yo too, they help clear off the table, wipe it up, dust, vacuum and take the recycles out to the outside can (we have a small(baby) can inside). They also love helping with putting away groceries and emptying the dishwasher too.
Came here because I actually want to instill more cleaning with my kids. I’m a do your homework clean your room and help put your clothes when they get done and you’re good kind of Mom right now. Trying to find balance with our after school routine. I have an 8, 5, and 6 year old boy. ❤
I needed this video :-) apart from cleaning up her toys and taking her dishes to the kitchen after eating, I actually don't have it structured but my 4yr old loves cleaning with me and washing the dishes, I am the problem though because I am a little bit extra with my cleaning so sometimes I feel like it takes longer to clean when she's helping me-I'm terrible I know but I am getting help :-) She doesn't like making her bed though, the one thing I ask from her, she has no interest in :-)
Yes every child needs chores. Their always something they can do even at 1 1/2 earlier you start better. My 2 an 3 are also learning to make sure lights are out potty flushed, shoes by door in box , and no toys, trash, etc left in their area of the car! simple things.
I started off having my son help my toss his diaper away in the trash when he was 1, now he helps put away his toys away, pick up, dust, wipe tables, wipe dishes, put his clothes in the hamper or clean clothes in the drawers. Each day we rotate. He can earn small treats and knows he contributes to the family, I’m a single mom so right now we aren’t doing allowances. He will be 5 in May. Your daughters are so cute
My almost 2 yr old & 3 yr old both help me pick up their toys & vacuum. My 3 yr old helps me move clothes from washer to dryer, and unload clothes from dryer.
I just started letting them put some of their clothes away. For awhile now they have been taking sheets of their beds and emptying their bedroom trash can. Mostly i have them take care of their rooms for now. They are 6 and 5.
I encourage my kids to join us wiv chores as they can and are willing, We not neat bed makers and we don’t have a rule to make their beds but I won’t make it wen they are old enough to do it themselves. We hang all of our clothes and our kids put them away themselves
What about when the child stops wanting to do the task? My 3.5 year old, just stopped wanting to help / do her chores. I don't want to force. I want to inspire... suggestions? 🙏
I agree! Sorting helps their brain development and starting young just helps it become part of the norm. My aunts said it was child labor but my kid does chores and theirs doesn’t at all and their are older and they complain. Should have started early!
@@anitababcock8238 my mom thinks it’s a little weird. I’m 1 of 6 and she didn’t make us do chores and we grew up lazy and her doing everything... I’m not replicating that!
@@anitababcock8238 Unless it it just cleaning up after themselves it IS child slavery. No other group is still allowed to own slaves, but, as sick as it is, PARENTS are still allowed to own slaves. It should have been made against the law a long time ago.
Do you reward for chores? I thought creating a chore chart with a chore reward “store” would motivate my kids, but they see it more as work. I don’t know how to get them to see it as doing their fair share. My kids are 6, 10, and 12.
We don’t really reward chores or use a chart. I have before and it seemed to backfire for us too. But for a long while they have been great and just knowing this is something they must do.
@@mothersslave8199 I don’t punish for not having a great attitude. We all have good and bad attitudes even as adults. I give them options of chores to get done or start with and they make the choice. That way they’re involved and not feeling forced.
@@BrittanyLynnHomeschool Well as long as you can keep them happy doing it, it is not abuse. However, if the kid really objects, and it is not just cleaning up after himself, to force them is slave labor.
I pay my kids commission for their Saturday jobs because it’s the cleaning you’d hire someone to do weekly if you could afford it. My 11 and 13 year old get $3.50 if they do their best on all the tasks on the weekly list, if they decide to skip a task or say they did it but it’s visibly grimy then their pay gets docked. My 6 year old gets 25¢ for each weekly tasks he helps with.

Thank you so much for watching! How do you get your kids involved in household chores?
I work alongside them . We wash dishes, we wash fruits and put them away, sweeping, picking up toys etc.thank you for sharing
We play the cleaning games. My girls are super competitive. So they race to see who can get what done first. 🤣

Samara's level of concentration when wiping down the cabinets :-) love it

Great channel.. I love it as a mom, I started to do home school for my 2y/o daughter. I'm also happy that you'll have a twin. Subscribed.

I absolutely love your videos! I am in NC and I have 3 girls. One 4 year old and two 3 year olds. So excited we are starting homeschooling ♥️👏🏼🥳

Except for cleaning up AFTER THEMSELVES, children do not "need chores' unless they WANT to help.

I need videos of just kids doing the chores- not the parents- so my special needs son will get going!
You mean so he will do it by himself?
I just started letting them put some of their clothes away. For awhile now they have been taking sheets of their beds and emptying their bedroom trash can. Mostly i have them take care of their rooms for now. They are 6 and 5.
Thats great!
Awesome video! Very helpful. Thank you!

Mine is 1.5 yrs old and I have been embedding little tasks and teaching her chores. I need to work on cleaning up her toys.
That’s great! Starting young is really important!
A few parenting books mention the importance of giving kids jobs at a young age.

Ok, i have to ask, where is that dresser in Samara's room from?
you're a great mum!
I saw your homeschooling volg amazing lady
My kids throw a fit when I ask them to do anything extra. They’re 4 and 6 and I feel like I am failing 😔
You’re not failing, mama! Maybe start small! Think of some ways to make it fun. Doing it together can always help.
Unless they are just picking up after themselves, it is not their responsibility to do the housework, it is YOURS. You are the one who incurred it.
