Get Kids to Do their Chores
We all know just how difficult it can be to get kids to do chores around the house. None of them enjoy it and would rather be out there playing with their friends, or watching television. Without the right approach, it can actually make the kids actually hate the chores. In this article, we are going to take a look at some of the ways you can get kids to do their chores.
1. Cut Out the Distractions
Children usually have distractions that can prevent them from doing their chores. It could be anything from toys to the television. Simply take those distractions until they complete their chores.
2. Set Time Limits for Chores
You need to give the child the time limit for chores, such as: “I want to see your bed done in five minutes”. Make them feel the urgency of the situation by telling them that if they delay there will go to bed early at night. This will motive them to compete with themselves. Your child will realize that there is something to be gained if they complete their chores on time, which will actually make it exciting for them.
3. Use a Motivating Leverage
As the kids grow older you can use motivational things as leverage, the most common of them being financial leverage. Peg it on their allowance such that each time that they don’t complete the chores on time, you deduct some money from their allowances, probably giving it to the sibling who finishes their task first, and on time.
