Getting Kids to Help at Home
Laying a Foundation (Part Five)
(excerpted from The Everyday Family Chore System)
by Vicki Bentley
(In an earlier article, we outlined the four basic principles that must be understood, the foundation upon which the methods or ideas in the how-to sections of this book – or any home management training program - must be built. These include:
- Have realistic and age-appropriate expectations.
- Establish rules or standards.
- Have a working knowledge of family discipline.
- Tie strings to their hearts.
Last time, we discussed a working knowledge of family discipline. We pick up here with the fourth principle.)

"...The first two parts of the book include information on training the child how to complete a cleaning assignment thoroughly, but the most valuable part of this book is contained in the third part - the How-to-Do-It chore system, complete with reproducible cards and job labels. As the parent of an autistic child, my son has to be told EXACTLY how to do something each step of the way. I can’t just tell him to "go get your dusting done." I have to remind him each time what needs to be dusted. The job card in this guide about dusting gives a list of items to dust! So, he could just carry the card with him and not have to listen to me remind him over and over again. ...
I have been teaching my children life skills and the basics of home economics using various books, but I will definitely be incorporating both of these books [EFCS and Everyday Cooking] as I continue to teach my children all that they need to know to live on their own after they leave the comforts of my home!"
