    Make sure each week you assign each child a different chore. Doing the same chore every week can become boring. Also, it is important to give children a feel of what it is like to alternate their responsibilities with other siblings.

  4. Step 4

    In the end, you are teaching your child responsibility and it is letting them know that nothing comes easy and you must work for what you have. There is any number of chores that you can assign. Vacuuming, doing dishes, sweeping, dusting, raking leaves are all examples of household chores.
