We have tried so many things to get the kids to do their chores. Some things have worked really well, others well not at all. I am amazed at what little it takes now to get them to do their assigned jobs.
I wrote each child's jobs out on a colored note card. Each child has a color. There are chores done 4 times a day, though really it is more about maintenance then anything else on household chores. And maintenance only takes just a few minutes. I also have a check list that I check off as we go through the day. A little encouragement, a little praise and wow all the chores are getting done on a regular basis! Nothing fancy, no rewards, just simple requesting them to do them and expecting them do so and praising their efforts.
