Teaching Life Skills Through Chores
Episode 58
Wednesday, 17 December, 2025
Chores. Just hearing the word can bring up a mix of reactions—from sighs to eye rolls to “we should really work on that in our house.” In today’s episode, we’re diving into a topic that seems simple on the surface but can be surprisingly challenging to put into practice. We’re talking about why chores matter and how everyday responsibilities help prepare our kids for life beyond our homes—while also building important life skills through responsibility and natural consequences.We’re joined by Kim Smelley—mom of three, camp mom, and master of what she calls “somewhat organized chaos.” Kim shares how chores have evolved in her family, what’s worked (and what hasn’t), and practical ways to encourage kids when motivation is low. Whether chores are a strength in your home or a struggle, this conversation will help you see them as an opportunity for growth, teamwork, and meaningful connection with your kids.--Question of the Week: What is your favorite chore to do around the house?
