Mine are only 2 and 4 and they have to draw their blinds at night and again in the morning. They have to tidy up their toys before bed (I do plenty of tidying during the day!) and they put their plates/cutley/cups up to the kitchen after breakfast and dinner. They help me put their clean clothes away, although i'm not sure why - it always ends up with me refolding it and doing it again, but one day they'll get it right.

That's all though. It's not linked to rewards or pocket money. It's not really chores.

Kids are never to young to learn that it takes a lot of work to keep the house running, and everyone should help out where they can. I think it would be good for mine to see their Dad do a little more - he's not lazy, don't get me wrong, just i think boys need to see males doing housework too, so they don't think it's women's work ITMS.
