Summary
Chores seem like a good anchor in the summer, but they really are a huge part of routine in the fall. But how do we do it? Allowance or no allowance, charts or no charts, how young is too young or how old is too old? All the things. Today, I share how I handle chores for my kids, but also how you can think about what matters and what doesn’t in relation to kids’ chores to create a system that makes sense for your family.
Stuff Mentioned
- If you want to hear more about our family’s complaining tally system, I talk about it in the Grasping for Summer Routine episode.
- If you’re looking for your own magnetic white board for your fridge, here’s a good deal on one with markers on Amazon.
- Join me live on Instagram around 12:15 p.m. EST on Thursday to chat about kid chores.
- If Facebook is your kind of thing, we’ve got a Lazy Genius community over there. Join us and make some friends.
- Wednesday is the last day to let me know what you want to see more of on the podcast and blog by completing our audience survey. Plus, one lucky participant will receive a free Planetbox Rover lunchbox after the survey ends. Fill it out here.
