AGE APPROPRIATE CHORES LIST FOR KIDS

In my blog Why I allow Yashi to do help in household chores… I told you about… why Yashi (My little girl) helps me?… I am a Home maker… I do my all house hold chores by myself…Yup. Right, I love to do my work by self. No work is big or small. When Yashi saw me to do my work by my self. She also wants to do the same. And I believe it’s important to teach your child that you have to do your work by yourself. So, they respect work. So, in this blog I am going to share a list of age appropriate    chores. When they help you with their little-little hands, they feel proud and joy. Because that chore not just a chore for them, it’s like a role play for them. They feel confident, joyful and thrill.

When they help you, they feel that they are also part of your big world too. Sometimes we didn’t realise when we are got busy in our personal problems, work related problems and in life. And we forgot that sometimes our kids feel neglected and forsaken. We never do this intentionally and wilfully. But some time we just didn’t realise this. This is my own observation. When I noticed this problem, I think a lot about what to do. Then bell rung in my mind. And I made a list of work which I can do with Yashi. So, she never ever feels ignored and feel close to me. So, here is list that I made from my own personal experience, expedition and my own motherhood experiments. Here I am explaining at what age, child to do tasks. I hope this will give you an idea of what kind of task kids can be expected to help out with dissimilar ages.

I believe that helping should start young. And because of this i ask my son and daughter to help around the house while playing. This helps them learn about responsibility too
