All 3 are required to clean their rooms up before bed. Kayley doesn't really have any other chores, just to help out when asked.

No compensation other than 3 meals, clothes, etc... Though we do spoil the kids now and then and if they threw a fit over helping when asked that would end.

Sash has to keep his room and toys clean, and on fridays when I am off work and he is not at kinder, he has to 'help' me with the chores, he isn't quite at the point of doing them all on his own yet, but I want him to get into the habit.

He doesn't get a reward, I am of the belief that we all live in this house, therefore we all have to put in.

My kids don't have set chores. They just help around the house where needed.

She is responsible for picking up after herself and making her bed. She helps feed our animals sometimes. She also helps water our veggie garden sometimes. No rewards for chores, we all help take care of our home in our family

The only "regular" chore is picking up and putting away all toys, books, etc on cleaning day once a week so I can vacuum, and occasionally in between if it's becoming messy. I usually help or orchestrate this by breaking it down into smaller tasks. He is also responsible for putting his dirty clothes into the dirty clothes basket. Other chores I ask him to help with occasionally such as putting away his clothes with assistance or sorting laundry, putting away silverware, taking dirty dishes to the counter, feeding the cat. He also volunteers to help with these sometimes, and often wants to do things like putting dirty clothes in the washing machine, holding the hose/watering plants outside, holding the vacuum/retracting the cord. However, most are not "scheduled" just whenever I'm doing it he may be asked to help or may volunteer, it's hard for me to get everything done on schedule! No reward for this sort of thing.

does your prescoller have any chores yet? Yes

if so, what are they? He knows to keep his toys/books/clothes put away and picked up or I put his toys/books in a trash bag each weekend.

do they get rewarded for doing them?

He gets to pick a toy but lately he hasn't been wanting to help even with that loss. So the next thing will be no toys in his room and he'll just have an empty rooms.

Allison has to put her clothes in the hamper, pick up her dishes, and keep her toys picked up. She doesn't get rewarded for doing these things, it's part of being in our family.
