How I Get Chores Done Without Battles
March 30, 2021
Solo episode this week! Hey, everyone, today I want to talk to you about the age old question of how do you get kids to help with chores?
I've got three teenage kids myself... a daughter who's 16... twin boys who are 14... and recently I've had some changes in my life. I moved into my own place beginning of February... which has been awesome.
It's an opportunity to try some some new things. Because in the previous place, I noticed a lot of the time chores were often a hassle... this battle that would go on to get things done.
I don't want to be a nag. I want them to be internally motivated to do things. And ultimately, I just want everything in life to be fun. That's something I'm really focusing on a lot in my life right now.
So how to make this work so everyone is happy? I share a few things I'm trying that I think are working pretty well.
