Why other Chore Charts don't Work!1. Some chores just don't make sense to have done every day.Other Chore Charts...Do you really want your plants watered every day? By the end of the week you may not have any plants left.
With NEATLINGS...With NEATLINGS...2. It doesn't make sense for all children to always have the same chores.
Other Chore Charts...On this particular screen shot the only chores listed are self-care chores so they make sense to have each child do every day. However if your children are different ages then maybe your older children have already mastered many of these and should be working on more advanced chores that contribute to the household. On the flip side if you did use it for household chores then you would have each child watering the plants every day. YIKES! Your plants might not survive a single day. Or each child feeding the pet, or getting the mail, or doing the dishes. - It just doesn't work! 3. With other chore charts it can be difficult to be consistent and specific with your expectations.With NEATLINGS...
Other Chore Charts...Experts say that it is best to be consistent with children. If your expectations for having a chore completed one day are different from another this is confusing for children and they will quickly feel confused and defeated. However other chore charts are limited on their ability to encourage this. 4. Sometimes you simply need to mix things up.With NEATLINGS...
Other Chore Charts...Other chore charts are very static. You can change up the chores weekly but that's pretty much it. 5. Magnets can be messy and dangerous!With NEATLINGS...
Other Chore Charts...Many chore charts use magnets these days. They seem easy but can more trouble than they are worth. Below are some snippets from reviews and a warning from popular chore charts that use magnets. The last one makes me wonder why they ever designed the chore chart in the first place as it reads "WARNING: KEEP AWAY FROM ALL CHILDREN... Swallowed magnets can stick together across intestines causing serious infections and death..." NEATLINGS - Simply a better chore chart!
