Many parents who are trying to return to having structure at home after
summer vacation often assign chores to their kids, so some experts gave
11 News reporter Sarah Caldwell some tips on the best approach to doing
so.

and 11, said they've been doing chores for as long as they can remember
because their parents' philosophy is that pitching in comes with the
territory.
"We
think it's important for them to do chores to be a part of a family
unit and to know that we all chip in, and we can all count on each other
for help," said their mom, Noelle Deleon.

It is so nice to hear of parents that are working to strengthen the family unit but working together. What fine character traits these boys will learn, and be able to build on as they mature. Thank you Dad and Mom!! If really is worth the effort, as well as time spent to raise responsible, self-sufficient children.
