We are trying to give our kids responsibilities that are on their level. They LOVE to have their 'jobs'. We have Ethan sweep the crumbs that are inevitably left on the floor under the table after meals. We have a small handheld broom and dustpan (Dollar Tree!), and he loves it! And Ava's job is to wipe the grody food that they tend to get all over the table. We made some 'special' wipes for her to use for this. Of course, with kids, my problem is that it takes like 10 times as long for them to do their chores. I have to just walk away, and know that it's about the learning experience, LOL! <abbr><em>Jenny R.’s last blog post..<a href="http://ruddkids.com/2009/06/01/4-new-videos/" rel="nofollow">4 New Videos</a></abbr></em> Hey Amy!

That way she knew what she needed to do and what was still needing to be done. She liked the accomplishment at the end of the day when her chart was complete :) She's now 6 and doesn't need the chart, she just knows what to do. Now #2 is almost 3...time to start again :) When we first started #1 on her chores (when she was 3), we made a chore chart.
