Parents carry a plethora of responsibilities on their head—from
expenses to familial commitments, to kids’ educations, planning for the future,
etc. The least their kids can do to make everyday lives a bit easier for them
is helping them in household chores. All over the world, it is one of the prime
concerns of every parent to get their kids to do some chores. Well, here are
some interesting ways you can motivate your kid to help you with chores—
1. The WiFi password is your trump card
With technology ruling every heart these
days, your kids are quite digitally enhanced and are always on their laptops,
mobiles and tablets. One way to motivate them to do chores is by telling them
that they will be rewarded with the WiFi password only after they are finished
with their chores.
2. Give and take business always works
If your kids scatter their toys or gadgets
on the floor, the best thing to do is pick them up and confiscate them. Tell
your kids that they won’t get their stuff back till they finish a chore
properly. This way next time, they won’t leave anything scattered fearing their
stuff getting confiscated by you.

3. Rewards for finishing the chore line
Create a chore pin for your kids’ bulletin
board, which will be a kind of “to do list.” As soon as the finish each of the
chores, they have to strike it off and paste it back on the bulletin board
chore line. Reward them with a prize to boost their enthusiasm on completing
chores.
4. Use technology to your advantage
Kids love games and computers; use the “chore
wars” website, which is primary focused on a competition to earn more XP and
points for every chore one finishes. Give your kids a boost by playing a “kids
vs. adults” concept on this website, and customize it according to your choice.
