How to Create a Chore Board

Your kids are arguing over whose turn it is to vacuum the living room or set the table. Keep the peace and keep yourself sane by creating a chore board. Having a chore board can get your children to participate in daily household duties and responsibilities. Each child will know what they are responsible for each day of the week. Give a small incentive at the end of the week to the children who have completed their chores.
