Any tips on how to build an intuitive chore chart that my kids actually want to interact with and not whine about? 

Close Up Of Child With Reward Chart

Finding a chore chart that works for you and your family depends on your kids’ ages and personalities.  

Here are some ideas: 

  • DIY chore jars: One jar is full of sticks stating the chores that need to be done. Th other jar is where chores that are done get place. Kids need to fill in the ‘jobs done’ jar. 
  • Digital: there are many digital chore charts available, like Sweepy, Joon App, or BusyKid.  

Keep in mind that for chore chart to works, you need to: 

  • Make it a daily habit: chores need to become part of children’s routine 
  • Clearly state when chores need to be done 
  • Be a role model: make chores enjoyable by doing them while listening to music or a podcast, or having a chat  
  • Support your kids but don’t criticize them.  
  • Rotate the chores so everyone can have a go at doing different things. 

I hope you find this information useful! 

Lots of love to you and your family.
