One way to teach your children how to be responsible and reliable at an early age is to make them handle the household chores. Learn about the chores that are appropriate for your children to do at home.   

To get your children on board, the first thing you should do as a parent is not to expect too much from them, or to put it another way, don’t be a perfectionist. Kids don’t like to be pushed too hard, and you might end up doing the task instead, which will undermine your purpose. It is better to have a relaxed and smooth approach, allowing them to make mistakes and learn from them. Aside from that, just because they’re young doesn’t mean they can’t do the tasks properly. Your kids may be more capable than you think. All you need to do is to trust them and let them do the chores without nagging and bugging them all day. There is a common misconception that children will only be motivated to complete work if money is offered to them, and that if money is not supplied, they will not do it. Doing household chores is part of every child’s responsibilities, and money is not necessary to make them do it. 

To prevent confusion and problems, always make sure to provide them with clear instructions when assigning them tasks. Children tend to listen and follow what you say. So, be on point and specific with your instructions, such as putting your toys in the black box or cleaning the table every meal. Also, before you let them do the chore, make sure you teach them first. You can do it step-by-step by first letting them observe what they’re supposed to do, then allowing them to execute it with your help and supervision until they’ve mastered it. As a result, you won’t have to worry about them doing the job properly and thoroughly. Don’t forget to congratulate them and compliment them on their efforts; they’ll be delighted to do it again and again.

Here are household chores for your children:

• Make their bed
• Fold their clothes
• Clean their shoes
• Wash the dishes
• Wipe the tables and windows
• Vacuum 
• Arrange their toys
• Mop the floor

Your children will be able to complete the above chores because they are simple and light. It is best to teach kids how to do these things and be responsible for them as early as possible.
