"Teach your kids to help as early as possible. They love being a help to you and it is a way to find quality time together without feeling like you have to let things go. My kids are 4 and 5. They feed the dogs, help with dishes, dusting, clean their rooms, help with laundry, and my daughter even has her own "princess" toilet brush. They feel so big when they help and it sure helps me."
