How often do parents hear, "I'm bored!  There's nothing to do." from their kids.  Too often, that's for sure.  The problem is not so much they are really bored and have nothing to do.  There room is filled with games and toys, they have PlayStation, X-Box, and other gaming systems to play with, and there is a neighborhood filled with kids for them to go outside and play with.  The problem really is lack of motivation!

One easy solution to this problem of lack of motivation is to have kids help out around the house.  It's funny, though, that as soon as you mention helping around the house, they are all of a sudden not bored anymore and want to do something - anything - else to get of our household chores.

The best time to start teaching children about responsibilities around the house is around 2 years of age, but if you have older children, there are things that you can do to start them on the right track.

Helping around the house builds character in children, and teaches them responsibility.  Learn ways to get your children actively involved in household chores!

About This Course

Believe it or not, there are ways to making helping out around the house more enjoyable for kids.  The key is variety of tasks.  If a child does the same thing day-in and day-out, they will likely lose their motivation and stop helping.  If you know the secrets to interchanging tasks so that chores are less mundane, then your child will get them done on time, and may enjoy some of the work.  This Better Family University Course will teach you all you need to know to keep your child motivated.

Children also thrive on rewards, but you also have to implement consequences for not completing tasks.  Discover what rewards kids like the most at every stage of childhood.  Giving them an incentive is a great idea.  Also discover what consequences fit the crime, if a chores do not get done in a timely fashion.

Switching chores around gives a child the chance to practice new skills.  It also keeps them motivated by doing something new or unusual.

Make sure you assign tasks to yourself and your spouse to teach your children that lending a hand around the house is everyone's job.  Be sure that your child knows how to operate equipment around the house, such as a vacuum cleaner and dishwasher before letting them go to work.   Learn about getting the whole family involved in helping out around the house.
