There are some household chores that almost anyone can do. And children, like older people, like to feel that they are useful. With proper training or guidance, children can do age-appropriate tasks and contribute to running the household. In some families, the successful completion of chores is a paid activity. In other families, chores are just expected of all family members. Still others use a mixed model, some tasks are required, while others, extra tasks, can earn the "worker" extra cash.

abstract	There are some household chores that almost anyone can do. And children, like older people, like to feel that they are useful. With proper training or guidance, children can do age-appropriate tasks and contribute to running the household. Of course the chores a child can do will vary based on ability. And you should not expect a child who is not used to doing chores to instantly pick up lots of new chores. The first few times a child does a chore, it's probably best that he or she do it with someone. If possible treat it as fun or even as a privilege to be allowed to participate. Instead of saying, "now that you're 7, you have more chores", try something like, "do you think you're old enough to help me do this", or "I think you are mature enough to be allowed to..." Scale up a bit at a time. For instance, the first time a child makes a bed, her or his part could be to put the pillow in the right place, or pick the stuffed animal. And the adult or older child shows how they smooth the bed. The next time, the little one can move the pillow and select the animal and help pull up the sheets and blankets. After a few times, ask the child to try it. If all goes well, and you keep a good attitude, you might even get help on other beds too! Some of the chores listed below can be done by an even younger child, but that may require additional supervision and time to learn. In some families, the successful completion of chores is a paid activity. In other families, chores are just expected of all family members. Still others use a mixed model, some tasks are required, while others, extra tasks, can earn the "worker" extra cash.
