What should I do if my roommate isn't doing their chores?

How regularly should we check our chore arrangement?

What's a good way to manage chores with kids?

Keep chores fun and pick tasks that match each child's age. Little ones can handle feeding pets or picking up toys. Older children and teens can do laundry or help with cooking. Use colorful charts and stickers for younger kids. Offer thoughtful rewards that fit your family's ideas and values.
