Brittany and Tiffany

What if your home could (largely) run without you? 

What if your children (both younger and older) knew how to pick up after themselves (and were part of the team that picked up after the family as a whole)?  

What if the necessary tasks of running a household were completed quicker and there was more time for FUN for everyone in the family? 

Regardless of how you feel about chores, there is an abundance of research out there proving they CAN be a positive thing (think LESS Cinderella and MORE Cheaper by the Dozen)…

There are a MILLION ways to implement a chore system, but it IS a system, which means Brittany has one and she's been improving it every month for a LONG time.

We're so happy to have our fellow momma of many and delightfully inquisitive friend Renee Amato with us to answer some common questions about setting up and running a chore system.

  • Chores Defined (02:15)
  • Family Chores (06:30)
  • Chore Assignments (12:00)
  • Standards (13:13)
  • Incentives for Chores (16:15)
  • Ages & Stages (22:52)
  • Chore Swapping (30:00)
  • Payment for Chores (33:35)
  • When are Chores Done? (36:00)
