Currently, our Clean-up Fairy is remarkably similar to the tooth fairy. She leaves gifts on the pillows of children occasionally when she happens to be in the neighborhood and finds a perfectly picked up room during the night. Of course, certain duties need to be expected as a responsibility related to the privelege of being part of a family, but greasing the wheels a little with positive rewards for general cooperation or specific tasks, even paid jobs, can keep peace and harmony in the home and prevent discouragement, even burn-out, for both parents and children. Not only that, but our schedule also gives me the ability to keep going in pursuit of our goals when the going gets tough. We use Daily Duties wall charts and find their attractiveness makes the chores seem more attractive, too.
