Foolproof Checklists for Kids

Do your kids ever give you the excuse, "I just didn't know what to do!" when asked to clean a room?  Well, that's a favorite in our home.


No more!


I made checklists for the kids' chore zones.  Details, baby.  Now they can't claim they didn't know they had to sweep or pick up the snotty Kleenex on the floor.  Another neat idea is to put the checklist in a plastic page protector.  Now they can check off each task with a dry erase marker.


Goodbye excuses.  Hello accountability.  :)  Happy to see you.

  2. I guess that's right. But now they have no excuse for not doing the things on the list.
