Children need to learn responsibility at an early age. Start as early as possible with your children. Be sure to praise your children, as they accomplish different tasks. They will get great joy from contributing to the family. Consider making a chore chart, to keep track of the chores your child has completed.
At my house, we make it a game every Saturday morning. I make a list of all the chores that need to get done. Then my two daughters and I take turns picking a job until all the jobs are taken. By doing this, I give the children choice in what chores they will be doing. But everyone knows their chores must be completed by lunchtime.
Or you could have a chore chart, and they can earn a sticker for completing their tasks.

I always like to give out a little reward if chores are done without complaint. It is always something small, like a coloring page. If you are interested I have 290 free coloring pages for you to choose from.
