Getting Kids to Say Yes to Chores (the anti-chores chat)

from The Art of Shame-Free Living · host Crystal Haitsma

Learn some exciting news about my upcoming women’s retreats happening in April and September. Then, dive into one of my favorite topics—household chores—and how I approach them without the traditional reward-and-punishment mindset.I talk about how minimalism has dramatically reduced the amount of cleaning in our home and helped us strengthen our family connections. I share practical ways to bring kids into the process—letting them choose their chores, mixing big and small projects to teach the value of effort, and supporting their growing independence along the way.I also talk about the power of hiring help when possible, and how that simple act can create more space for abundance and connection in the home. I wrap up with a quick reminder about the upcoming retreats and an open invitation to join me there.  Manifest Me Retreat: https://www.coachcrystal.ca/manifest-me-retreatCreation Room: women’s group program- https://www.coachcrystal.ca/creationroom The Parenting Coach Podcast: https://www.coachcrystal.ca/blog  Connect With MeSubstack: https://substack.com/@itscrystalnoelle Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/its.crystal.noelle Website: https://www.coachcrystal.ca Program: www.coachcrystal.ca/creationroom  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
