Chore List
Every child has different chores they have to do that are set up by their parents but if you need some help on what chores to have your child do here is a list to get you started. I recommend that you use this as a guideline and set up what you think is appropriate for your child and his needs.

I also recommend having a chore chart for your children. There are several free printables online that you could use or you could make your own if you can't find one to meet your specific needs. I also recommend giving rewards at the end of each week and possibly a bigger reward at the end of the month if they have done their chores. Some people give cash or change, some give toys or candy, and some people give them a big movie night or craft night. If they have video games or tablets they could have an extra 15 minutes or something.
