Tip 10: Children Should Have Age Appropriate Chores

In order for your child to become independent and responsible, they should have chores they must complete in a timely and complete manner. Chores can also teach children colors, patterns, and sequencing. A child as young as 3 or 4 years old can pick up their toys and put them in their proper place. Older children should help where you feel it is appropriate. Every child is different and you must determine when your child is ready for more responsibilities. Below are some suggested chore ideas by age level.

3-4 year old
Pick up toys
Pair socks together
Help feed family pet

5-8 years old
