Chores can help children learn responsibility. However, establishing an effective chore system requires some effort from parents. We put together a list of pitfalls for parents to avoid when it comes to chores.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be stingy with praise.<\/strong> Don\u2019t wait\u00a0until your child is finished with a chore to\u00a0praise him or her for a job well done.\u00a0Encourage your child throughout the process and congratulate progress! Praise is often a better motivator than money.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t insist on perfection.<\/strong> Your child is still learning what \u201cclean\u201d really means, so don\u2019t be hard on him or her when there are still streaks on the window and dust in the corners. And by no means, don\u2019t jump in and do the chore instead of your child. That undermines the whole point of chores!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t make chores boring<\/strong>. Turn on some music or make a game out of it! Laugh and dance as you put away toys, sort dirty laundry, and load the dishwasher. Doing so teaches children that responsibility can be fun.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t wait too long.<\/strong> Some parents think their children are too young for chores. However, there are plenty of age-appropriate tasks even your two-year-old can do!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be inconsistent.<\/strong> Establishing a chore system for children can feel like a chore for adults. As a parent, remind yourself to remind your child about chores. When you don\u2019t set clear expectations and or follow through, you are communicating to your child that chores are not really that important. If chores are important to you, they will become important to your child.<\/p>\n
