Strategies for Assigning Chores to Children Ages 3-5

Be consistent. To establish a routine, be sure your children know what daily chores they are expected to do and stick to that schedule. By maintaining this type of consistency, these tasks will become ingrained in their daily habits and won't be forgotten over time.

Give small rewards. To make the process fun and rewarding for your child, consider offering small rewards. For instance, if your child makes their bed every day for a week without reminders, acknowledge this with a prize. To make it even more fun, you can also create a tracking system, such as placing a star sticker on a calendar to make it more engaging and visually appealing.

Start early to build habits. A great way to instill responsibility is by introducing chores at a young age. Around ages 3-5 is the perfect time to get them into the habit of cleaning up after themselves, putting away their clothes, and making their bed. As they grow, these habits may become second nature, potentially carrying over into adulthood.
