I noticed since quarantine that my children were watching screens too much. Television, iPads, Nintendo Switch, all of it. My son also really needed to learn some responsibility for a couple of things that happened, but the most recent.... he broke his iPad screen. So, we set up a chore system.
This system had to be implemented and it has to be worked on every day, every week because honestly? Care tasks are hard and can stink even as an adult, but they are an important part of life. You feel better when you get ready for the day and have less clutter in your space. So here is what we started doing to help them learn to basically take care of themselves because mom and dad aren't going to be around forever.
Hi! I'm Diana. Mommy to my elementary aged son & middle school daughter. I am a former Nanny living in Georgia, who thought I knew everything about raising children until I had my own. Lover of coffee, traveling, and all things Disney. I like to share my thoughts on budget conscious parenting, traveling with kids, crafts, and family friendly recipes. I serve with the children's ministry at my church and am now a teacher at the preschool.
