Episode notes
Establish Routines First
- Establish your own cleaning routines first.
- Then, involve your kids in those existing routines, rather than creating new ones.
Chore Chart Failure
- Dana White tried a chore chart system with stickers and a Chuck E. Cheese reward.
- The system failed due to disruptions in routine like Vacation Bible School, and they never reached their goal.
Gradual Integration
- Instead of making drastic changes, integrate kids into pre-existing routines.
- Don't try to change everything at once; start by including them in tasks you already do.
