I need help with my messy kids again.

Maybe you could put him doing small jobs, and help him with them. He's only two years old, chances are he won't be able to do them alone. If you show him how to do them, and help him when he does them, he could see it as fun in his mind. I hope that I've helped.

Yes, I would put your 2 year old on the chart. He is old enough to leran to be helping even if he's not really helping. You could have him putting the silverware on the table when getting ready for a meal. Have him do one at a time to begin with. Then after the meal he could remove the silverware and put it in the sink or put something down low enough for him to put it in. You could also have him dusting the Dinning room chairs. That would be a good start. you don't have to explain it to him just show him. at that age they are eager to help if given a lot of praise.

Yes, I would include the 2 year old on the chart. Give him a small chore such as pick up toys or something that you know he will be able to do. My kids have always had to help around the house although I never could use a chore chart. I was never organized myself to do that. I have changed a lot of that and I am really trying to make myself more organized and make things like that work. I do currently have a cleaning schedule that I try to do and I hope that I can keep it up. I learned to do that with from a neighbor and she was much busier with things than I was at the time and if she done it, I knew I could. The biggest peoblem with a chart like that is being disciplined enough to do it. The schedule is the same way but I slowly learned that it helped me a lot with household items.

I don't have a 2 year old yet but my nieces understood a lot of things around that age. When my daughter was born, the youngest niece helped out & she was only about 16 months - she saw her older sister do it & decided to help! You could get him to put toys away, maybe help carry things to the laundry, little ones do love to be helpful, maybe you could get him to help put things away, hand him something & show him where it goes! If you have toys etc outside, he could put them away too - just show him a couple times & he should get the knack of it.

I think you need to put your two year old on the chart just so he does not feel left out. You can make your two year old pick up his toys, help sort the laundry or pick up the dirty laundry. He can help put the clothes away. He can help the other kids with their chores also. I feel he is not to young to learn how to pick up his toys.

I have a 2 yr old and a 3 yr old. Here are their chores on their chore chart -help mommy with laundry -sweep the floor -brush their teeth -feed the dog -help set the table -help clear table -take vitamin -pick up toys When I first started I showed the charts to the boys. I made them big and colorful. I told them it was a chore chart and everytime they did a chore they could put a sticker on the chart. Then I read them all of their chores and then again explained to them that theese were their chores and to remember...everytime they did one they got to put a sticker on the chart. I dont expect a whole lot from them. I dont expect them to sweep the floor 100% clean...but to think that they did and did a great job at it. The vitamins and tooth brushing I added on the chart just so it will become a daily routine..like I said I dont expect them to do 100% job but it does help with responsability and makes them feel great about doing it as well. I hope this helps

I have 4 children also and 3 step children. We had chores for my two year old always something simple. Like making sure his shoes were in the closet and keeping water in the dog bowl. For the first few weeks I helped then slowly backed away and just say do the dogs have something to drink and every time he did without a reminder he got a sticker. He is now 7 and I never have a problem with him doing his chores as I do with the older children. I think it is because I started them later than I did him.

try patiently,think in a positive way u will find the solution

You should add stars or rainbows or something to the chart. Then everytime a kid accomplishes one of their chores they get a star or a rainbow, or whatever symbol you pick. At the end of the week, they get to trade their stars in for little rewards.

A 2 year old can pick up his toys if he has a toybox..if not, get a big box from a store and decorate it. Also, if he can reach dresser drawers he can help you put his clean clothes away. My grand daughter is 2 and that's what she does and makes 1.00 a week for helping. She has a little wallet and it has about $6 in it right now. She told me she is going to buy a monkey. LOL

My little guy (who is now 2.5) started about a year ago wanting to 'help out' with things so we made the things he was naturally interested in become his responsibility. He helps: ~put daddy's socks in the dirty clothes when he changes clothes after work ~feed the dogs ~with laundry by pushing the basket to the laudry room and then handing me each item as I put it in washing machine. ~put bottled waters away in the frig. ~by turning off the tv when we leave the house. He is starting to get more little things to do, like put away toys and such..... but the point I was making was letting it be something kind of fun for him and make a big fuss about it being 'his resposibility'.

I think a tow years old kid has not enough apprehensibility on chores.It's a very important time for him,because in his age his brain pullulate much more quickly.You should take more training to help his brain,so that he will be becility.Also you can take the children to play together.By this way it can boost up the brotherliness.

One thing I've found helpful is having a routine. Each afternoon after school our routine starts (snack, clean rooms, homework, big chore). Since school ended, we start our routine after lunch and have snacks at the end. Instead of homework, we have half an hour reading time. After chores, the kids can each choose a TV show or play on the computer for half an hour. It's not a reward, just part of the routine that we don't get to until chores are done. As for a 2yo, mine is pretty verbal and she is given one chore daily, usually picking up a specific set of toys (all the crayons, or all the blocks, or her dressup). What you can expect from your 2yo depends a lot on language development, and that varies so much in toddlers. My now 6yo could never have understood at 2 what my now 2yo does.
