Description: This book is full of great ideas on how to get
your children to help with the household chores. It gives you
strategies on how to entice your child to clean up and be
responsible with duties around the house without bribing or
fighting with them.
Review: I spent my children’s entire young lives trying to
get them to clean their room, bring me their dirty clothes and
pick up after themselves. This was a constant battle that ended
with me doing most of the work while arguing and fighting with
them. Needless to say, I really could have used this book.
With great ideas on how to get your children up and going to
help you run a tidy home, this book brings it all to the
forefront. There are charts laid out in age groups that help
children know what their chores are and when they are to be
done. There are also some great room ideas on how to organize
things to make it easier for children when cleaning up.
Tactics such as allowing your children to pick their
favorite chores to do and having a set time for everyone to do
the chores so they are all working together at the same time
are a few things Mrs. Jean brings out in this book. Parts of it
are really pretty funny and I found myself laughing at some of
her little comments and tips. Easy to read and very helpful,
this book will set you on the right track to getting your kids
involved.
The graphics and the index are very helpful and make it
super easy to find exactly what you’re looking for. This book
will help you stop the arguments and confusion that most of us
have when it comes to getting our children to pitch in.
Before you know it your child will be helping and doing many
of their cleaning responsibilities all on their own. I think
this book is a must for anyone with children and it may just
become a part of my baby shower gift baskets from now on.
