1. Ages 2-3
These are the ages where introducing chores to children is critical. Be conscious of how you present the idea of chores to your children. Let them observe you cleaning with a positive attitude and by expressing a sense of accomplishment when you’re done. If children see you complaining, they’ll complain too. It’s also important during the toddler years that chores are not much more than simple, helpful tasks as opposed to anything involving deep cleaning. Examples of chores for 2-3-year-olds include:
– Put toys away neatly
– Put dirty laundry in hamper/washing machine
– Wipe down door handles
– Dust off baseboards
– Put books away on bookshelf/organize bookshelf
