Why Your Kids Need to Help (And How I Can Help You Train Them!)

Hey Frum Minimalists! 👋

As parents, we often juggle a million things—work, housework, kids’ activities, and so much more. But there’s one thing that often gets overlooked in all the busyness: teaching our kids to be responsible, independent, and contribute to the household.

If you're like many of my students, you’ve probably noticed that your kids aren’t exactly running to grab a broom or fold their laundry without being asked a hundred times. 🧹👕

Sound familiar? You’re not alone, and I get it. It’s hard to find the time to sit down and train your kids when you’ve got so many things on your plate. But trust me, getting them involved isn’t just about keeping your house cleaner—it’s about building habits, creating independence, and making life a little bit easier for everyone!

The Hidden Power of Teaching Kids to Help

Let’s talk about why it matters that your kids help around the house.

It builds responsibility. When kids start doing chores—whether it’s making their bed, helping with dishes, cleaning the bathroom, or cleaning their room—they learn what it means to contribute to a team. This is a life skill that will serve them beyond the household.
It fosters independence. Kids who help with housework become more self-sufficient. They learn to take care of themselves, and when they’re older, they’ll know how to manage their own spaces, cook, clean, and organize without needing constant reminders.
It reduces stress for you. Have you ever felt like you’re carrying the weight of the entire home on your shoulders? 🤦‍♀️ Teaching your kids to pitch in lightens your load, reduces your stress, and creates a more balanced home environment where everyone shares the responsibility.
It teaches them about teamwork. When your kids know they’re an essential part of the family and household upkeep, it brings everyone together.
It builds a sense of accomplishment. Kids love to feel like they’ve done something helpful. When they’re given a task to do, whether it’s cleaning up after dinner or organizing a closet, they feel proud of themselves—and that's HUGE for their self-esteem.

But Here’s the Problem...

You might be thinking: "Sounds great, but my kids just don’t want to help! They’re too busy, too lazy, or they forget—how do I actually get them to pitch in without constant nagging?"

I totally get it! As a parent, you’ve probably had these thoughts running through your head:

"I ask them to do their chores, but they always forget or drag their feet."
"They don’t take it seriously, and it ends up being more work for me."
"Why do I have to be the one reminding them all the time?"

Does that sound familiar? If so, I’ve got good news for you.

It Doesn’t Have to Be This Way.

With the right tools and strategies, you can train your kids to help more—and even enjoy it. Yes, you read that right: enjoy it!

That’s exactly why I created my Raising Minimalist Kids course—a two-part workshop designed to help you empower your kids to take responsibility, pitch in around the house, and become more self-sufficient.
