08-21-2019-Does or did your children do chores? All the chores your kids should be doing, based on their age
When our children were younger, they did a lot. Washed the dishes, scrubbed the floors, did the vacuuming, mowed the lawn, etc. There was always an unwritten list. It started around the age of 10. The mowing of the lawn came around 15. But at what age should they start? This from the author Kristina Wright.
As a parenting writer, I have had a lot of parent-friends ask me this one question more than any other: "When should my kids start doing chores?" My answer is always, "It's never too young to start"—and the experts agree with me.
Every kid is different, so consider your child’s abilities and interests when giving them a new chore. In my case, my third grader loves to make simple meals, such as grilled cheese, and fill and empty the dishwasher. My second grader enjoys helping with meal preparation by setting the table, peeling vegetables, and grating cheese.
