FAQ

  • Some examples of chores are taking out the trash, cleaning a room, helping with dishes, putting away dishes, washing the car, feedin and cleaning up after a pet, etc. However, chores can exceed these examples and be anything you want them to be.

  • Begin your chores contract by mentioning all the responsibilities that are to be undertaken by children and their parents, the conditions of these responsibilities and chores, and the incentives you will receive once these chores are completed (like ice cream, extra television time, pizza night, etc.).

  • The contract can be considered void when the given chores and responsibilities are not completed, or do not meet the requirements (such as not being completed on time, or not being completed satisfactorily). The contract can also be considered void when children do not receive incentives even when tasks are completed at satisfactory levels.

It may seem silly to speak so formally in a chores agreement with your child, but the inclusion of formal language lets the child know that your agreement is a serious one. The use of contract terminology may help solidify that you plan to keep up your end of the bargain, and will encourage your child to do the same. The language can be less formal depending on the age of the child.

CHILD’S RESPONSIBILITIES​

The following responsibilities are those of the Child. Child will adhere to these responsibilities and complete chores to the best of his/her ability.

The chart gives the child an exact layout of what chores are expected of them and when. You can add times to the chart for greater specificity, if desired.

This section shows that the parent has responsibilities which he or she will maintain, in order to help the child complete his/her chores. It allows the child to see that every family member has a responsibility. You can even include things in here to show your child just how much you do as a parent, such as preparing meals, doing laundry, paying bills, etc.
