Summer is here, and while my daughter Lily is excited for her break, I know I can’t let her spend all day lounging around and playing video games. After a challenging school year filled with homework and tests, it’s time for her to enjoy some downtime, but I also want to keep her engaged and productive. To strike the right balance, I’ve come up with a list of chores that will not only keep her off the couch but also teach her valuable life skills.

Here’s what we’ve got so far:

  1. Declutter for a Yard Sale
    We’re diving into a household cleanout! It’s time to sort through all those toys and clothes we no longer use. Lily will help gather items for a yard sale, and she gets to keep the profits from what she sells. Win-win!
  2. Babysitting Responsibilities
    While I’m home, I want her to take on the role of big sister and watch her little brother for short periods. It’s a great way for her to practice responsibility while I handle my own tasks, like working out or catching up on chores.
  3. Family Photo Archiving
    With a box of old family photos needing organization, this task will be both fun and educational. We’ll sort through the memories together, deciding which ones to keep and which to share with relatives.
  4. Deep Cleaning Tasks
    There are always those spots in the house that never get cleaned, like baseboards and doors. I can’t wait for Lily to tackle these chores! She’ll have a blast with a bucket of soapy water and a few rags.
  5. Meal Prep Skills
    This summer, I’m encouraging her to step up in the kitchen. She’s already mastered cereal, so it’s time for her to learn how to whip up sandwiches and maybe even some easy dinners. Who knows, maybe I’ll get a few meals made for me!
  6. Yard Work Assistance
    From watering plants to pulling weeds, getting outside will be great for her. Plus, it’ll help me keep the yard looking nice without breaking my back. She’ll get some exercise too!
  7. Car Wash Duty
    Lily loves playing with water, so why not make washing the car a fun chore? It’s a perfect excuse for her to splash around and help out at the same time.
  8. Sewing Projects
    Surprisingly, Lily enjoys sewing! I’ll have her tackle the pile of clothing that needs mending. It’s a skill she can use for life, and I’m thrilled she finds it enjoyable.
  9. Basic Handiwork
    Teaching her how to change lightbulbs and assemble furniture will be a great way to boost her confidence. If she wants a new shelf, she’ll learn how to put it together herself with a little help from me!

Of course, I know that not everything will go according to plan. But involving Lily in creating this list has made her more enthusiastic about participating. These chores are not just about keeping her busy; they’re about instilling a sense of responsibility and pride in contributing to our home. Plus, let’s be real—if she doesn’t help out, there won’t be any video games or ice cream trips this summer!
