Tasks. Work. Chores. Whatever you call them, there are things that need to be done in your home and frankly, no one really wants to have to do them. Since the magic fairy isn't going to be arriving anytime soon to handle these things, we as parents have to find a way to motivate our kids to get their share of the work done. I found that every age and stage and child requires a little different tactic and mindset, but it always comes back to adding an element of fun.

 

Learn more about how to add fun to daily tasks and the importance of knowing what motivates your unique child in this episode. Read the full show notes with links here: https://conniealbers.com/making-daily-tasks-fun-for-kids
