We have a four year old and a six year old. Everyone clears the table, and helps out when asked, but we don't have set chores. I have found that the kids are more happy to help if it is not something that they do everyday. When i am sorting laundry, they take piles to the bathroom closet, and correct bedrooms. Sometimes they feed the dogs. They always take coats up to their rooms, keep bedrooms straightened, put laundry away each night, and shoes in correct places. I have a bin for each child by the stairs. Once a week, then need to go through their bin and put stuff away. It is always items that go up to their room to be put away.
fdaughter takes her wet pull-up out to the trash if it is wet. This was actually the doctors recommendation. She is 6, and it teaches her that it is not okay to go potty in bed without punishing her for the act.
Well look at that, we have chores after all. Here I thought my family was slacking!
