2.  Ages 4-5

At 4- and 5-years old, children should become comfortable with the idea that they can do things for themselves without needing mom or dad to do it all.  Without demanding too much of the little guys, help instill a sense of self-direction and independence that will help them be more successful as they start school and gain more responsibility.  Also do your best to make chores fun.  Turn tasks into games or challenges or sing songs to help them learn the steps to a particular job.  Perhaps your most critical approach to teaching chores is to hold your children accountable, no matter how much they initially resist.  Practice, practice, practice until chores become routine!  Chores appropriate for 4-5-year-olds include:

– Feed family pet

– Put silverware away from dishwasher

– Set dinner table

– Clean windows/mirrors

– Match socks

– Pull weeds
