It's a natural time to share the day's events, or to bring up some of the serious matters you need to raise with your children. Or just share jokes and laughter together. Praise and hugs. It's the effort that counts most when kids do family chores. A child's version of a job may not be as tidy as an adult's, but it deserves praise and an extra hug.
Family members can join in the fun once their work is done.
