Managing a home is a lot of work. Having help from your children is easier than you might think and is a great way to teach responsibility and teamwork at a young age. One of the keys to success is using a chore chart to track their progress. Even your young children will enjoy checking off their chores each day.
This printable chore chart for kids has plenty of space to write out daily chores. Each child can have their own sheet. You can even use this to track your kid’s morning routines or bedtime routines by adding those tasks to the list.
Tracking progress and giving rewards
Some parents decide to pay their children an allowance or commission each week if they complete their chores. Using a chore chart will help you to easily track this as well. You could also have chores that are expected to be done each week with no payment, but other special chores might earn a commission. For example, making a bed is expected, vacuuming the car weekly might be an extra paid chore.
