Chores can help develop a sense of responsibility and self worth in your child. It should be understood by all family members that chores are expected and necessary to a household running successfully and efficiently. They can help create a sense of unity and family and are a great way for your child to learn about teamwork. Parents should take special care to handle the delegation of chores to children so they don't become a source of frustration or create arguments.
Allow your child to have an active say in the delegation of chores. Give them choices. We all have household chores that we don't like to do, but if it's a chore the child enjoys doing, then there's less likelihood it will create a battle in the end. The child will most likely appreciate having the chance to be heard and having a choice. It's imperative that you set parameters early on for the successful completion of a chore. They may not perform up to snuff when they first start performing the chore, but show them where improvement is needed and praise them for a strong effort. Also make sure the child understands there will be repercussions if they only put forth a minimal effort.
