Farm chores for kids
by age.
ADRIAN ANDERSON
As long as there have been farm kids, there have been chores for
farm kids. The kids can be a big help, and chores provide a
healthy work ethic, teach responsibility, and give them a sense of
purpose.
Unfortunately, there are risks involved (as with any other job) so
always practice safety first and choose age appropriate jobs to
give the kids. If you can’t supervise them yourself, give an elder
child the responsibility of supervising.
A part of making the
homestead life a
success is learning to
help mom and dad in
the garden and
around the home.
Let your parent know
you would like to
take part in
maintaining the farm
or home garden. It
will teach you many
things like:
responsibility, time
management, useful
skills, pride, and
many other valuable
lessons.
