Summary: I was asked to share some of our experience with kids doing chores. I think it is a great subject because a lot of us want to raise kids who know the discipline and skill of chores, but we don't want it to be this big huge fight that ends up creating a tense and stressful situation for us and our kids. <br> <br> In this episode, I'm sharing our strategies, tips and mindset for how we handle kid chores in our home. It doesn't mean it is always happy, or easy - but we are focussing on the process more than the outcome and it makes a difference.<br> <br> <br> <br> Some main points we covered:<br> <br> * we need to let go of the need to make our kids constantly happy <br> * know you why - why do you want your kids to do chores?<br> * how we got started with Saturday Morning Chores<br> * how we have built on starting with one task<br> * introducing chores, delivery matters<br> * helping kids through the overwhelm<br> * motivating kids to do chores that fulfill their vision<br> * teaching the attitude and culture of chores in the home <br> * enjoying it<br> * thought traps you might get stuck in (expecting perfect/obedience/happiness)<br> * falling into the comparison trap<br> <br> You can read the full post <a title="Handling kid chores without losing your mom sanity" href="https://simpleonpurpose.ca/kid-chores-mom-values/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">right here. </a><br> Ways to connect<br> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/simpleonpurposecommunity">The Facebook Community</a><br> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/simpleonpurpose.ca">Instagram</a><br> <a href="https://simple-on-purpose.ck.page/ace728f8f3">The Simple Saturdays Email </a><br> <br> Get life coaching, from one mom to another!<br> <a title="Life Coaching with Simple on Purpose" href="https://simpleonpurpose.ca/life-coaching-program/">One on One coaching</a><br> <a href="https://www.lifeonpurposeacademy.ca/">The Life on Purpose Academy </a><br> <br> NOW AVAILABLE<br> <a href="http://www.lifeonpurposeacademy.ca/stresslessons">The Stress Lessons</a><br> <a href="http://www.lifeonpurposeacademy.ca/hardthingslesson">The Hard Things Lessons</a><br> <br>
