I was recently was visiting with a good friend and commented on the chore and behavior charts she have posted in her family room. With four kids, she found it can be difficult to keep track of who has done what and who had gained or lost various privileges. So, over the years, she has used various charts to keep everything on track. She have also created charts for host families and au pairs dealing with behavior the children may be having.<\/p>\n

She forwarded this information for me to pass along to help you work with your host families and the children.<\/p>\n

Having chores teaches children that they are an important part of the family and their efforts count. This teaches responsibility and promotes positive self-esteem.
