I had a friend recently asked me, how in the world do you do chores in your family with all four of your kids?

And I thought, that would be a great podcast episode. So today I am going to share with you

how we do chores in the Ray household.

You're listening to Work and Play with Nancy Ray, episode 209.

Much of our daily lives can be divided into two categories, work and play.

Simply put, that is where our life and our legacy take place.

This is a podcast all about learning to work and play well, which leads to a healthy soul and a fulfilling life.

leadership in this because I feel like he's really been the driving force behind our kids doing tours in our house.

There's one thing I've learned that is kids really, their capacity and an ability to understand hard work and do hard work at a young age is astounding.

And they don't want you to know that.

They want to play all day.

But it's never too young to start teaching your kids how to work hard and how

to handle money. So here's how we do it in the Rehouse. We usually introduce chores around age

four. That's when they can really understand the concept of working and earning money and kind

of building money to buy something. And of course, we make

sure the chores are age appropriate. Right now, our kids are two, four, six, and eight. And I'll go

through the chores that they have at the end of this episode. But we make sure their chores are

age appropriate. We differentiate with our kids between household responsibilities and chores.
