50+ Chore Ideas for 4 and 5-Year-Old Children to Develop A Sense Of Responsibility and Discipline
With the rise of Montessori education and other trends of parenting that include the child as an active participant in their upbringing, many parents search for ideas and opportunities to include their child in the chores and responsibilities of a household. These chores will help your child develop a sense of ownership and belonging, as well as a feeling of responsibility over their own home and space.
This list can be used as a simple list of ideas, or an actual checklist. Make sure you create your own copy, and use the filter and sorting features to separate chores. Bear in mind, we've estimated the frequency of each activity but it is up to each parent to consider their own family life and needs. It is also important to take into account your own child's preferences, so choose a few chores that are daily/weekly/monthly and try them out, observing how your child interacts with each task and experimenting.
This list can be used as you would a spreadsheet or a chart, so feel free to create your own copy and add more columns, where you can assign the responsibility of each chore by adding a single-select field with the names of different people in your home. This is the new way of creating a chore wheel template!
