Though it becomes increasingly difficult to round up your children when they get a little older and have started to become involved in so many activities outside of the house, it is still important that they see that living in a family is like being on a team. Everyone works together. Everyone contributes. By making chores a regular part of everyday or every weekend, a child will know what to expect and what is expected of him or her. Below is a list of chores for your 10 to 13 year old.
