It was time to do the right thing and anticipating whining and battles, I decided to get serious about the children have chores to do. Everything I've read says it's good for children to have responsibilities at home - chores. And while I wanted my children to do certain chores, I dreaded new battles or extensive administration to achieve this goal. A few weeks ago, wandering through Target, I decided to experiment with a Chore Board.

The first two weeks of the Chore Board experiment are a tremendous success.
