It's amazing when they are young how EAGER they generally are to help with tasks! If I can just channel that into something that will help me get things done around here. GREAT idea on the rewards idea - that's one of the things I was struggling with - thinking of what they could "get" for helping out. They are still so really young, the concept of money is still so foreign to them. I'm not sure I want to introduce the allowance factor! lol. Quality time sounds like a great compromise!! Thanks for the incentive. Now I just need to stop being a lazy bum and actually DO my chore lists....! I’ve been thinking a lot lately about chores and how to get the kids to work on things.
