Quotes to ponder:

"It is so much easier to clean without my kids! However, I promise, the reward comes in the work you put in upfront."

"My general rule of thumb is, if the child is old enough to make the mess, they are old enough to be a part of a system to learn to clean."

"It’s important to remind your kids of the reasons they are being asked to keep the house clean, how much you appreciate them for being a part of the process, and celebrate them for mastering each zone."
