Kids’ Chore Chart

July 22, 2010 //  by Jill//  12 Comments

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Here is a list showing how I break down the household chores. Organization is essential in effectively maintaining your household. If you develop a plan and stick to your schedule, it will prevent the work from building up too much. If you do a little each day, you will not become overwhelmed and frustrated.

Note from Tawra: this was written when I just had 2 younger kids ages 2 and 3.

You will note that I have included a list of mandatory chores for my three year old son. It is important that children have ever increasing responsibilities in the household. This teaches them skills that they need to become more independent and builds their self esteem through learning to achieve new tasks.

Though I have not devised an official chore list for our two year old daughter, we find that she whines and complains less overall when we also give her household tasks.

 

Daily Chores (Things I do every day)

* Brush kids’ teeth (under 4 yrs)
* Dress kids (under 4 yrs)

* Start dinner in the morning
* Do dishes after every meal
* Sweep kitchen floor
* Vacuum under table
* Pick up family room

    My 4 children are grown and married and they still get along very well. I would suggest that if the kids argue when doing the dishes, then have them take different nights that they do the dishes alone. Somehow they may see that working together is easier and more fun than doing it by themselves. The old saying “many hands make light work” is so true.

    A really useful plan. Thank you very much.
    When my three were school age, and the table needed for homework after dinner, they efficiently rotated, setting, clearing and washing up. Much as they enjoyed Ian’s Famous Spaghetti Bolognese, nobody wanted to be on washing up that evening.
