My daughter is 6 and 1/2. She is home for hte next 8 weeks for summer. I feel she is old enough that she needs chores to help me out and learn responsbility. Here is what I am asking of her. IN the morning Make her bed , and her little brothers bed. He is 2 and they share a room. Keep laundry in laundry basket, get yourself dressed. Come down , have breakfast, give cats food and water. Her next chore is in the afternoon and she has to empty all the wastebaskets in the house (we have 3). Throught the day I make her keep her things cleaned up, put her dishes in the sink after meals, and often assist me with other small things (pls get me a diaper, pls turn off the hose.......etc......) Also, is it okay if she takes her *sweet* time doing her morning chores (making beds and dressing herself), is it okay if I withold breakfast. If she is effecieitn in my opinion she should only need 15-20 min before she should emerge downstairs fully dressed. If she plays or is slow/lazy,
