How to get kids to finish a chore promptly
Tired of having a 10 minute task take an hour for one of the kids to complete? Give them a timer. When it's time to get a task done I give them a fair time limit. If the job is done by the time the timer goes off they are free to do what they want. If they don't finish then I get to add another job and more time. Amazingly the jobs are getting done pronto. If the job was completed but not neatly, I add additional time for them to do it right. Eliminates nagging and whining.
