Make chores into a game and your kids will not even realise they are doing chores

Step 2: Make it a privilege

If you make the chore you are doing look grown-up and exciting, your kids will want to have a go

Step 3: Make it a challenge

If you challenge your kids, by pretending you think they can't do something, then they will want to show you otherwise

Step 4: Make it rewarding

One classic way of getting them to help around the house, is by hiding treats around an untidy room. They can keep the treats if they tidy properly.
