Mom, Dad, Guardian, how are you doing delegating tasks to your family members?  Do you personally take on the majority of the tasks that run a household? Let me be more specific; do your children make their beds? Laundry? Do they help with a meal? Set the table? Do the older children know how to make a phone call to schedule an appointment for themselves? After all these questions, you’re probably wondering if I’m working my way up to 21. At the risk of another interrogating question, I wonder if you’ve ever timed each of the tasks you could be getting help with? Sure, it might only take three minutes to make a bed, four minutes to put away laundry, six minutes to empty and reload the dishwater, and forty-five minutes to wait on the phone to get the one live person who might transfer you to yet another department, one hour to grocery shop, thirty minutes to… you get the picture. Those minutes add up. And they are just the minutes that might change your life as your family learns to work in COOPERATION with one another. Remember, two are better than one. Can you imagine what a family of four or five can do! Check out this link for helpful age-appropriate chores.
