A child can do different household chores based on their ages. Parents should adjust the chores assigned to their children based on how they will help meet their needs. These household chores should match their children's maturity levels. For example, children of 2 to 3 years of age can help out with simple household chores like putting their laundry in the hamper, while those of 4 to 5 can follow the household chore chart used by the family.
