Any mother of little ones will tell you that 1) it doesn’t take much to amuse them, and 2) they like your things better than their things. Case in point: my kids love to wash dishes. They rush to grab rags, play with bubbles, scoop, pour, scrub, sort, and rinse whatever is in the sink. They think most chores are for their enjoyment, and washing dishes is no exception. This is a nice activity to keep them busy while I prepare a meal or work in the kitchen on other things. After they are “done” I just go back and wash the dishes myself.
What chores do your kids enjoy doing?
