I wish I’d realized earlier in my parenting career, the nearly essential and profoundly positive influence family/household chores have upon a child or teen. My children were 7 and 3 when the information came to me but had I known all along, well, you know how we always “wish we knew then what we know now”!

1. Create the Habit Early
I once went to a coworker’s house who had a small daughter. Her daughter was around 2 or 2 1/2. We walked into her home together and she had not had any time to clean up or straighten the house before I came. When I walked into the house with her and her daughter I was shocked! I couldn’t believe my eyes! Her home was spotless and organized! You would have thought she lived there alone and that she didn’t have not a single child.
