In an effort to provide some structure to our days now that I’m working at home again, we’ve been using sticker chore-charts. I’ve been amazed at all the things the girls can do and how helpful they are. Working together to do the laundry and dishes has given us more quality time together and I feel like a better mother, too.
The Chores (Revised several times)
- Morning: make bed, get dressed, get hair done
- Dishes: empty/load dish washer
- Laundry: cycle the washer/dryer & sort dry clothes
- Allie-preschool on laptop & Kylie-put away books/art supplies
- Basement: put away tops
- Nap time: go down without a fuss
- Afternoon: put bikes in garage/ pick up all toys
- Bedtime: PJ’s on, clothes in basket, brush teeth
- Night time: go down without a fuss
The Basic Rules
- The girls have about the same list of chores, which are listed with picture icons
- Each day they complete a task, they get to choose a sticker for that square
- Each day they don’t do a task, I draw an “X” on that square
- If the girls do something ‘extra’ chore/task, they get a star sticker
- A start sticker can go on any square with an “X”
