What a chore

Recently I have been thinking that we need to get our little 6 year old on track with some basic chores. I mean, don't get me wrong, she does help out around the house. I just wanted to get something going a little more regularly. Here is the solution. I found this magnetic white board at Staples for like $3 (pen included) and it works great. The boxes get checked off as she does her chores throughout the day. At the end of the day--if she has completely all the chores that are applicable to the day--she gets a check down at the bottom. When all 20 boxes are checked, she gets an awesome reward. Something big and exciting...sounds like the perfect plan to me! Plus, I don't have to take the garbage out anymore.
