Once children begin school, they begin to learn some self-discipline. They have more responsibilities at school, so they should also be ready for more responsibilities at home. When a child reaches school age, they are ready to become more accountable for their own space and more understanding of their role at home. Below is a list of chores that a child in gradeschool should be able to accomplish with minimal supervision.

Members to ListPlanIt will find chore/responsibility lists for every age (including Teens, Tweens, Preschoolers, and Toddlers) in Family Matters.  Not yet a member?  Join today for just $5 and get organized to teach your children skills for a lifetime.
