If teaching your kids to do chores feels harder than doing everything yourself, this episode is for you. As Christian homemakers, we want our homes to function with peace and purpose—not nagging, burnout, or sticker-chart chaos. Kids need chores, not just to help us out, but to grow into capable, responsible adults.

In this episode of Simply Convivial, I’m sharing how to make kids' chores work without the frustration. I’ll walk you through the mindset shift that changes chore training from a battle into an apprenticeship—and how to build a routine that fosters a cheerful, contributive family culture.

We’ll talk about:

Why your kids need chores for their own good
How to overcome perfectionism and inconsistency
What it looks like to disciple your kids through responsibility
How to create a chore system that actually works
