As a Mom of 6 kids I have tried everything under the sun when it comes to chores. Chore charts work. It’s that simple. Whatever reward was attached to the completion of the week was not as important. It was the satisfaction and happiness when they saw the chart completed. I have also bought the biggest and fanciest charts. I have made my own from printer paper or poster boards.
