In addition to allowing you to obtain valuable help in carrying out household chores and making your children understand the importance of actively contributing to family life , involving children in carrying out household chores allows them to develop numerous motor skills and acquire the precious sense of effort which will be very useful to them throughout their lives.
To help you easily assign tasks to your little ones and your older ones, Les Belles Combines have designed a set of task magnets that you can place on the weekly planner or the large family task board as well as on your child's small personal task board . The proposed tasks have been divided into six different levels corresponding to as many different colors, specially designed for all these reasons:
Tasks that match the child's developmental level
A three-year-old obviously can't do the same tasks as his ten-year-old brother, and it's of course important to teach your child to develop a variety of skills related to performing household chores as he grows.
Colors that make it easier to assign tasks
Since each level corresponds to a different color, it is easy for the child to know what chores he or she will have to accomplish during the coming day or week. Similarly, when all the chore magnets are arranged on a large weekly chore chart used by the entire family, it is easier for the parent to quickly see which child has actually completed the responsibilities assigned to him or her for the week.
A level change ritual
With each change of level, the child is not only assigned new tasks corresponding of course to a higher level of difficulty, but also new privileges! Because growing up means not only having more responsibilities, but also finally obtaining more freedoms that are often very much appreciated! Discover the little trick that will allow you to easily determine the new freedoms to grant to your child according to the level reached!
