I don't think I want to imagine my son at 16, I can barely comprehend that he is already 4 years old. We try to teach him to clean up but... well you know how that goes. (like food in the couch form wayyyy to long ago) But I know it can be accomplished. My mother instilled tidiness and morning choirs into me at a fairly young age and I hope to pass that down to him because, I belive that that is the reason I am such a morning person now.

I read a wonderful article about how to ingrain the chores into the kids... I wish I had understood "teach kids to help" in this way when my son was little! Here is the article...it's about including them in a real way, not a token way ,and they will get the intrinsic reward of togetherness and doing chores will be a part of connecting with the adults...
