Family Member Chore Lists:
It is very important to get all
family members involved in helping around the house. It is always easier and faster to make things

routine and establishing procedures at home, children will increase their
memory power, self respect, and sense of achievement.
Make sure you create a special
place for each child to put his or her school papers when he/she gets home from
school. It gives the children a sense of
responsibility and makes it easier for you to remember that those papers need
to be looked at each day.
Make rules that make sense and get things done. Example: Rid your life of the chaos which ensues around dinner time each night by making it everyone’s priority to be home while dinner is being prepared. Everyone should have specific chores to handle during that time. For example: this is actually a great time for kids to do homework, mom to cook dinner, dad to vacuum. Then sit down and have a meal together. Talk about your day. Families need this time to catch up and communicate with one another. This is a priority. You all have to eat....you might as well use the time wisely and eat together and let everyone know they are important to the family by listening and enjoying the conversation. Jot down “rules” of your own, of this nature, that you would like to implement into your family, on a separate sheet of paper. This part of organizi
