With everyone being at home more now than ever, mom and dad would love some help around the house.
We see value is delegating chores at home and no age is too young. Whether it is cleaning up toys after playtime, clearing the table after dinner, doing dishes or taking the trash out... everyone can give a hand.
Chores are a great way to practice teamwork, learn responsibility and learn life skills. It also helps us to appreciate the things we have a bit more.
Next time you do chores try this:
Parents, you write 5 chores that you'd like to see done.
Then, Let the kids pick 1 more chore to add to the list.
Roll 2 dice and whatever #'s they land on are the 2 chores that need to be completed that day.
Few things to make it most effective:
Demonstrate how you'd like the chore to be completed.
Make sure the chores are age appropriate.
Post the chores list on the wall or fridge; easy for everyone to see.
Praise immediately after the chore has been completed.
Maybe award a small treat/prize after a set # of chores in a month have been completed.
Getting chores done help children feel a sense of accomplishment and that they were able to contribute to the family.
I am so happy to have found USK. I finally found a program where my child is growing and learning. He is safe and has so much fun in Afterschool. He has not had this type of structure before and this program has been the best thing for him.
I know I don’t speak for myself when we say a hugely impactful ‘Thank you’. My son's improvements have been massive. You all helped instill confidence and push him to empower him with pride and strength. These moments will live on regardless of any future decisions he makes.
My son loves it at USK. He has grown a passion for Tang Soo Do and he has made great improvements at school and with his overall behavior. He is learning confidence and respect. Thank you for offering such a wonderful program to the community.
