Children and Chores {Giveaway}

Before you all stop reading let me quickly say I have found a new perspective on children and chores. If most of you are like me you spend all day doing a million different things. For me I homeschool my children as well as maintain this blog, manage the social media for three companies, write for three other sites, and keep my house up. No I am not super woman I just have a lot to do.

I recently received the Colorado Power Pack from Eternal Encouragement which is a great bundle of 8 audios with custom listening guides. All of the audios were recorded live in Colorado and are from the sessions by Mrs. Lorrie Flem. This bundle is wonderful in that each audio and guides leads blends well into the next. you are listening to one and then when you get to the next thinking “What?” The audios are:

• Keys To A Queenly Castle
• Attitude Adjustments
• Encouragement for the Weary Homeschooler
• Cheerful Children and Challenging Chores
• TEACH So They’ll Learn
• Dawdling or Diligence
• Welcome Home Daddy
• Doing Enough & Fortifying the Foundation

The one that I am focusing on is Cheerful Children and Challenging Chores. In this audio Lorrie teaches you 7 simple steps to teaching your children how to tackle chores and learn to do it happily.  Her idea is that you start early because she is right when she says “It is easier to teach a four year old to pick up their clothing happily than it is to teach a 16 year old.” I know that getting my daughter to do something is easier than my son because she is younger and will naturally do things like empty the dishwasher. She started doing it when I started blogging full time and now she does it every night without fail.  The 7 steps to teaching them are;

1. Setting Goals
2. Know the Learning Sessions
3. Getting It Together
4. Assigning the Jobs
5. Teach Them How
6. Incentives and Consequences
7. Evalutations

I love Lorrie’s idea of rotating the chores out each year so that your four-year old (for example) is sweeping the floor but by the time they are sixteen they are doing chores that are really helping you. This will also help teach your children how to be self-sufficient. I know that I not learned how to do several things when I was younger that when I was an adult I would have been lost.

There is so much more I could share, but you really  need to get this bundle yourself to truly benefit. Here’s a treat! You can actually enter to win your own bundle! First you go HERE. Second, you mention that you found out about it here on Rita Reviews. Lastly, you provide your name and mailing address. That’s it.
