show moreFor today’s Tip of the Week we’re delving into a common struggle faced by many parents: finding the balance between teaching your kids how to do certain household chores versus doing everything yourself. The two biggest pushbacks I hear from parents are: wanting things done “right” and wanting them done “quickly.”
As a somewhat Type-A mom, I can totally relate.
Even now that my girls are grown-ish, I find myself wanting to swoop in and offer a solution, even though I know they are capable independent young women.
How much you outsource is going to vary based on age, ability, and family dynamics.This episode addresses questions like:
- How to involve children in household chores from a young age.
- Setting clear expectations and providing guidance without micromanaging.
- Using incentives to help motivate kids through gamifying strategies.
- Allowing your kids to take ownership, even if it means accepting imperfection.
- How to resist the urge to jump in and do it.
By nurturing their independence and instilling valuable life skills, you’re setting your children up for success both at home and in the future.
Happy Organizing!
