Don't let your kids drag their feet（拖拖拉拉）over doing chores. Help them to make doing boring chores enjoyable.
________ A simple and great way to make cleaning great fun is to do some of it together. Play some beautiful music while you are doing chores. Then you won't feel bored.
Get lucky. If your kids like surprises，write chores on ice - cream and have each kid pick one. Tell them they can change their picks if each of them agrees. In this way，they will have a feeling that they're making a choice(选择).
Make it playtime. Turn “kitchen time” into a party. Let one child be a cook and another be a DJ. The cook chooses what he or she would like to help make for dinner. The DJ chooses the music he or she would like to play. Everyone can dance around the kitchen while preparing dinner or cleaning up the kitchen later.
Find more difficult chores. One of my friends was trying to get her kids to help out around the house，and someone advised her to give the kids some things like candies or toys as rewards. The plan worked like magic. However，rewards usually don't work for long because kids will be bored with doing the same chores all the time. At this time，give them some difficult chores. If they're already used to helping clean the cage of the pet，make it harder by having them clean it all by themselves. Then，ask them to clean it faster.
