How to Get Kids to Help with Chores

chorechart

I am the mother of three sons…three sons that I did NOT want to grow up dependant on a woman, whether it be a mother or future wife, to cook and clean for them. I was a stay-at-home mom, but that shouldn’t make a difference in teaching kids responsibility.  So at a fairly young age, I had them learn various life lessons for themselves. They made their own breakfast, did their own laundry, learned to sew on a button, and had basic cooking lessons. At age 15, they got their own checking account and learned just how fast money can disappear, or accumulate, depending on their spending habits. And of course, they all had required chores to help around the house.

This is a simple and colorful pie that children love to help make.  You can also switch out the berries, pick the Kool-Aid to match, and have a whole new recipe.  Try blueberries with grape, cherries with black cherry, or even raspberry with raspberry Kool-Aid.  Enjoy!
