Guide Review - I Did My Chores!

Chore time getting you down? With the "I Did My Chores!" system, chore time becomes hassle free and children will complete their chores consistently. There is an initial planning and assembly time for the parents, but then the system takes over and the parent simply supervises. The plastic chore cards are color-coded to reflect the time of day. After the chore is completed, the chore card is placed in the "I DID IT!" box. At the end of the day, the child receives a token for each card in the box. The tokens are redeemable for previously established rewards, such as playing a game with mom, story time, extended bedtime, something from the ice cream truck...it's all up to you. Sample chore and rewards ideas are included.
