Don't let your kids get bored this summer! There is way too much to do!

Do your kids ever get bored? Do they say there is nothing to do?

NEATLINGS has a solution that will make both parents and kids happy!
Let your kiddos do extra chores for rewards! I'm not talking about rewarding them for chores that they should be doing anyway I'm talking about chores that will teach them to go above and beyond. Maybe it is doing laundry, washing windows, cleaning the bathtub or simply wiping down the bathroom counters (great chore for little ones but may require a step stool).

How to make a system that works for your family

Allowing kids to earn rewards for extra chores has many great benefits for both you and your child.

  1. Doing chores gives kids something to do. There is no reason for them to say that there is nothing to do because as us adults know there are always things that need to be done.
  2. When kids do extra chores you can allow them to earn tickets and then they exchange these tickets for rewards. They will be excited and motivated to do more chores than ever! Which helps keep them busy while learning life skills.
  3. Then they can take their tickets to the family store where they can redeem them for fun new things! Going "shopping" will give them yet another exciting thing to do and teach them how to spend their tickets wisely. Yet another way for them to stay busy and learn how to earn and save for things they want - another life skill.
  4. Now that they have earned something new - they have yet another thing to do whether that is trying out their new soccer ball, using a science or craft kit, or working through a newly earned puzzle or board game or whatever treasure they were able to purchase from your family store.
  5. Everyone wins! Parents will have more time, kids stay busy with positive, skill building activities, and everyone gets to enjoy living in a cleaner space.

    Hi! I'm Robin

    Welcome to Robin's Blog on NEATLINGS. Here you will find loads of stuff on chores for kids & lots of free printables.

    Why Chores? I created a chore system for my kids that works amazingly! It's not like any chore system you've used before and it WORKS! So, with that you'll find lots of stuff on chores. Please check it out at our home page.

    I really enjoy making printables for kids. They are fun for the kids, they are fun to make, and I enjoy making something that I can share, so I just keep at it. I hope you find some you enjoy too. If you signup for our newsletter you will get access to all of our FREEBIES! You will see the signup form at the bottom of our home  page.

    I'm a born and raised big city girl who decided to move to a small town so that my husband could follow his dreams of being a farmer. I'm not ready to move to a farm place as my husband would like but we compromised on a darling small town, with heartwarming people, a beautiful community, and an absolutely fabulous school. With the move I left my fortune 500 career and became a stay at home mom to my 3 wonderful children.

    For the record I am not someone that loves chores or housework in fact it is quite the opposite I am not a very "domestic" gal but I love my children to all ends and because of that I strive to teach them everything they need and to cultivate contributing, confident, can-do kids!​
