Don\u2019t you dare do them all yourself! Make chores a family affair and get your preschoolers excited about helping with mundane activities that will keep them occupied and get the house cleaned up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Summertime is a great opportunity to start introducing your preschooler to everyday chores that they have sole responsibility for taking care of. When they start sorting their own laundry into baskets or putting away their toys by themselves once they\u2019re done playing with them, or even scooping the pet\u2019s food every morning, they will build a routine you can continue even after school starts. You can make this fun at first, but emphasize that everyone in the family helps out, and this is how they contribute, even when it stops being \u201cfun\u201d or exciting!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here are some other ways to make chores less of a chore:<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Preschoolers love a challenge or a race. Hide small treats or pennies to find when they are dusting\/cleaning up, or set a timer and see who can pick up toys the fastest.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chore charts \u2013 with stickers. The child with most stickers at the end of the week gets recognized for being \u201cThe Biggest Helper\u201d!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Music or podcasts. Play some family friendly podcasts or a favorite playlist to get your groove on while you all help clean up.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Make big house-cleaning days a family event! Make a \u201cChores Bingo\u201d bored and whomever gets a Bingo first wins a treat!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s up to you whether you want to use allowance as a selling point, but remember that kids this age just love being praised and feeling important! Small treats are fine, too!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read last month&#8217;s blog post, <a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.com\/mableton\/2019\/05\/09\/how-to-teach-your-preschooler-to-ride-a-bike\/\">How to Teach Your Preschooler to Ride a Bike<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Want to learn more about<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.krkmableton.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Kids \u2018R\u2019 Kids Learning Academy of Mableton<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> located in Mableton, Georgia?
