Each chore earns them a quarter, so if they are saving up for something, they are more motivated to help out. If no one helps out voluntarily, I assign them jobs. No one has ever balked and refused to be helpful. <br /><br />I use ONE card for each chore and re-file it according to whether it is labeled "daily", which goes in the next day's slot, or "weekly", which gets re-filed a week later, or monthly, which gets rotated back to the same calendar date a month later. I will have to take a few minutes at the beginning of February to reorganize slightly, so that I don't have any monthly chores falling on the wrong day of the week. <br /><br />Good for you on giving it a go.Alanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02169732072381476940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25192475.post-74207053930830603752010-01-09T03:18:20.289-08:002010-01-09T03:18:20.289-08:00How do you get the children to do these?

Or do they have set chores?<br /><br />Also, do you replicate your daily chores so that you have 7 cards saying the same thing, so each day of the week has one of them?<br /><br />(I can't visualise the system just yet. But trying to set it up for myself without buying the book! I have the cards all written out so far.)Hashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14288976759969499911noreply@blogger.com
