Question

                      Chores for School Age Children 

   When children begin to study at school,their responsibility with chores should increase as well. School age children should continue with chores that relate to picking up after themselves. For example,teach children to put their shoes and backpacks away when they get home from school.

   School age children can also be given new chores. For example,helping to care for a pet can be a great way for them to begin increasing their responsibility.

   As chores become more complex,it is important to teach them in a step-by-step manner how to do each chore. For example,if a child is expected to put his own clothes away,be sure to teach him where to put the clothes and discuss your expectations. Be sure to praise them for their efforts and encourage them to keep practicing. Don’t expect perfection.
