quick Chore thought

the hardest part in chore training
is the training of the heart
while doing to chores

anyone can take out the trash
wash the dishes
clean their room

but how many can do it
joyfully
with thanksgiving
and a selfless heart?

so when my kids are doing their work
I look at the attitude
with which they did their task

and praise that!

yes we want a job well done
within reason of their skill set

I try and focus on the positive
attitude we are aiming for
while doing the job

thankfulness, joy, patience
self-control

not the negative ones
anger, bitterness, resentment
self-centredness



I find giving them the positive
heart attitude
helps them focus on what
they are trying to achieve:)
