The kids did GREAT doing all their chores and without having to be asked (most of the time...lol)
We have regular conversations about responsibility and doing our part as a family. The focus is NOT on the money, although they are aware of it and it has helped motivate them for some of the less favorable chores :-)
I am very proud of them and the progress they have made with the extra responsibilities.
I made new charts and this time laminated them! This way I can use the same charts each week and just wipe it off and change the chores as needed. I have my own laminating machine so this was easy :-) I have found that it doesn't just wipe clean easily, I have to use my Mr. Clean magic eraser but that works perfectly! LOVE Mr. Clean! LOL
In addition to their Chore Charts, I have added nicely laminated Behavior charts (they were all on the same chart last week). I just like having the two separated and so do the kids.
I need to copy your system!!!! love it
ReplyDeleteWe use the same chart... Yay for free printables!
ReplyDeleteDon't you have a small chart for your 3 year old? Give him some jobs too, like pick up toys, eat your dinner, brush your teeth, etc. My 3 year old LOVES to help with unloading the dishwasher too!
Danyel, I was just thinking that people must think I am leaving Landon out! LOL I do have him do things as well, I just haven't finished with his chart. All I have been doing so far is putting stickers on a blank poster board. I am making him a chart using pictures of things he does around the house. I figured that would be more visually fun for him. I will have it done soon...LOL
DeleteThis blog was mostly about the added allowance etc. :-) I guess I need to do one all about Landon and his little chart next :-)
DeleteLove this Mel!
