Chore Wars - Bedroom Edition: A Six-Step Strategy for a Tidy Room When Kids Resist
Episode 71
Sunday, 27 April, 2025
Tackling the age-old parenting challenge of getting kids to do their chores requires a systematic approach rather than nagging or giving up. We explore a six-step process focused on bedroom cleanup that can transform your family's approach to household responsibilities.• Breaking down "clean your room" into specific tasks like making the bed, putting clothes in hamper, and picking up toys• Creating separate lists for daily versus weekly tasks to make expectations more manageable• Letting children choose when they'll complete their chores (morning, evening, specific days for weekly tasks)• Setting up clear consequences tied to things kids value rather than making up punishments in the moment• Working as a team with your children to create the system rather than imposing it on them• Taking a focused approach by solving one area at a time rather than trying to fix all chore problems simultaneouslyTry this approach with bedrooms first, then apply what works to other areas of your home. Remember we're experimenting together with our kids to find what works for our unique family.LINK to "Energy Drain Ideas" on Mary's website: ENERGY DRAIN IDEASEmail me at info@parentingdecoded.com or go to my website at www.parentingdecoded.com.
