I am the unofficial queen of job charts. My kids have had job charts since Jaxon was about 4 years old. They work great but they get boring after a while. A new job chart really boosts the enthusiasm about doing their chores. When the kids are young I use picture instead of words on the charts. I find that I can alter the charts for the needs of the family. For example, right now we are having a hard time getting up in the morning so I now am making a treasure chest job chart that the first one up gets to pick first from the selected jobs that day. I really believe that a job is only work when you make it. You don't complain about brushing your teeth because you have just made it a part of life. I want my kids to take care of their things out of habit not just because mommy is a meany. I have had fun trying to come up with new ways to motivate. Here are a few of them for you to try.
