In the same way that Managers of Their Homes has helped tens of thousands of moms "get it all done," Managers of Their Chores helps families conquer the chore battle. The book and included ChorePack system have the potential to revolutionize the way your family accomplishes chores. Whether you are chore challenged or a seasoned chore warrior, you will gain motivation and loads of practical advice on implementing a stress-free chore system.

Jennifer shared: "We are a growing family of 7 and love the ChorePacks system and how it has helped us be productive and have more time for fun activities and service together as a family. I’m not scared to host in my home thanks to my army of ChorePack wielding helpers."

Many questions arise as families look at the issue of chores:

  • Should children be expected to do chores?
  • How many chores should they have?
  • What age do we begin assigning chores?
  • How do we encourage our children to accomplish their work?
  • Is there a biblical basis for chores?
  • Do chores bring benefits or burdens to our children?

Managers of Their Chores tackles these questions, giving answers and direction. Written by parents of eight, Managers of Their Chores begins with the biblical foundation for chores and the many benefits chores will bring to a child—both now and in the future. It moves into key factors in parents' lives that will affect a chore system. The book gives pertinent information about what kinds of chores should reasonably be done in a home with children.

One chapter is devoted to helping moms work with their preschoolers on chores. For those moms who say they have no idea where to even begin, the book develops various pieces of a chore system and how it can be set up. Aspects of accountability, rewards, and consequences are addressed. Finally, Managers of Their Chores provides step-by-step directions for setting up a ChorePack chore system.

Managers of Their Chores comes with all the ChorePack materials typically needed for four children, including ChorePacks, chore card paper, and a ChorePack holder. In the appendix of the book, you will find a chore library with more than 180 chores listed, forms for use and future photocopying, and sample chore assignments from eight families.

While this book will not do your chores for you, it is an incredible tool that will allow you to create and maintain a successful chore system for your family. Help prepare your children—from preschoolers to teens—for life by teaching them to do chores.

Testimonials

"I have had chore lists for years, but this has been the best. It took prayer and time to get it set up, but we are reaping the benefits."

"I am enjoying ChorePacks. The portable packs are especially helpful with our 'learning challenged' children that need detailed lists of what to do. By clipping their chores to them, they do not forget the lists and can stay on task!"

"I have SO many books on housework, organizing, decluttering etc...and have seen and visited just as many websites. The problem is most put all the work on mom and many never even mention chores for children and the benefits. I knew Mangers of Their Chores would be THE best for my family because of the focus that is put on God and the serving from the heart to make the family stronger with everyone pitching in."

"It gave you visuals, explained the whys, needs, and benefits of chores, plus giving a system for implementing them. The book walked you through the process very clearly one step at a time with explanation of what to do and why."
