How can you get HELP around the House?????    • Now that my two
oldest children are 4 and 6, I have started to get them involved
more in cleaning the house. While it isn't always easy, I have
noticed major progress in their abilities to help out. Every
week they get to pick out the job they want to perform each day
and the jobs range from emptying the dishwasher to feeding the
dog. What ways do you get your older children to help out around
the house? Are there any tips for preventing clean up struggles?
• i use those washcloth bath mitts and spray them with the
dusting spray and let the kids go to town on the tables and
woodwork.  the older ones like to do the windows/mirrors with
window cleaner.      we also have a small handheld vaccum that
they like to use to clean up small messes. sometimes i think
they make a crumby mess just so they can suck it up.      my
kids also make their own beds, it may not always be perfect but
at least its done and for the most part they are pretty good at
it.  and of cours
