Kids Chores and the best goal for all – a private date
Posted by: Christine Mullins in Kids HousekeepingQuality time is very important in keeping the family together. But oftentimes, most parents find it hard to cherish and experience precious moments with their children. The heavy demands of work coupled with stress and pressure seem to prevent family members from enjoying the company of each other. What most parents fail to notice is that they can connect with their children through every day activities as simple as housekeeping.
Kids housekeeping does not need to be a dreaded chore for parents or children. Kids housekeeping can be enjoyable and fun if you apply the right approach. It’s an opportunity for kids and parents to show their love and care while having fun at home. My approach is to make it all a game – and to use the Children’s Miracle Music to set the pace, the tasks and the sequence. Each chore is an ‘act of kindness’. Children are responsible for different rooms in the home, and become active participants in maintaining the whole home environment. This is way better than nagging!
Housekeeping for children is a time for parents and siblings to show support to each other. And for each of the chores completed – using the Children’s Miracle Music game, everyone earns points towards their goals. The most important goals for children to achieve are private dates – where they can spend quality time with either Mom or Dad. This is a time when emotional bonds can grow and richer relationships unfold.
