Chores
Hi guys,
Mom of an undiagnosed 7 year old here (waiting for assessment but we are pretty damn sure).
He has a lot of trouble with school, seems quite burned out during the week by the time we get home and is generally just incredibly resistant to anything that seems difficult. I'm finding it hard to balance wanting to help him chill after a hard day vs teaching him how to care for himself and his home.
At the same time, while he seems slower to gain skills he does still need to gain skills. I'm wondering what is an appropriate amount of chores to give. He cleans up after himself at meals and puts dirty clothes into the hamper (poorly) but thats about it.
What do chores look like in your home? How do you adjust for low capacity days? How quickly did you build up tasks?
Apologies if this is disjointed , im writing it in multiple bursts around cooking food hes refused to eat and tantrums because I told him thats fine, he can go hungry now go get dressed 🫠
