Family Jobs
You can have willing helpers and work together

Are your kids helping with family jobs?

Do they know they can really make a difference to the family... and one day the world?

Household jobs can become a burden, for you and your family - a source of stress, chaos and exhaustion. Particuarly so if you are working outside of the home too.

The good news is that it doesn't have to be this way, you can share the household jobs effectively and have more time to relax and have fun together.  

Children learn in a variety of ways about family relationships, and when children they contribute to family life, it helps them feel competent and responsible.*  Read more...

So in fact, our children need us to find positive ways to help them learn about contributing in the family - as much as we could do with their help!

I promise your family can work together as a team and begin to share responsibilities and have fun.

 

Chores were wars at our house. Mum would keep nagging and repreating herself because she was frustrated. I'd get angry and my younger brother and sister would stick their heels in. So when Mum got these cards they were a great. Now she puts out what she wants done and we do it. Sometimes not straight away - but they always get done, and there's no more nagging and resentment.
