Dear Parent,

Would you like to build character in your kids through chores? Would you like your family to become a team and work together? Do you know how? Inside you will find 3 household chores for 9 and 10-year-olds.

Teach your boys and girls to wash and dry their clothes:

First, they'll need to collect their dirty clothes in one place like basket in their closet or a hamper.

Second, teach them how to fold their clothes. You might have to show them how several times.

Third, make sure they have a place to put their clean clothes and teach your children how to arrange them. It's as easy as that.

After they know how, expect them to follow through and take care of their own clothes. I know teaching your children to wash and dry clothes, fold their laundry, and put their laundry takes time. Yet in the end you'll save bundles of time because you're not doing their work. You'll be teaching them responsibility, a sense of order, and how to take care of themselves. They'll be learning these positive skills for life. You'll be building character with chores. The family work load will lessen for you too.
