Having trouble getting your children on board with household chores? Have a family meeting and give everyone a chance to talk. Have the whole family work together to brainstorm a plan of action to accomplish household chores. Make a checklist for children to follow, and then your expectations are clear. At the meeting be sure to brainstorm what the consequences will be if family members don’t follow through. Then the consistency of following up on your expectations is your responsibility. It can be difficult sometimes, but well worth the effort!
