That means when the basics are done, the younger child is to check in with Michelle or with his or her “buddy,” the older sibling each youngster under age eight is mentored by. The buddy and the child verify that all the morning jurisdictions were completed. Then, after lunch, the younger children will start their afternoon chore packs, which might include working on spelling and other schoolwork in addition to practicing music, playtime, or some other activity.

When we first introduced this system, we “let” all the children “play the game.” But these days the older ones prefer a regular written checklist because they don’t need to be reminded to do things like get dressed and brush their teeth, and for the most part, they manage their own activities through the day. The younger ones still use the morning and afternoon chore packs to make sure they’ve completed everything they’re supposed to do by a certain time.

The Maxwells’ wall system and the chore packs have made a huge difference in how our family operates. They have eliminated a lot, but not all, of the forgotten tasks and chores. Occasionally, there’s still a glitch. For instance, one of the boys might be working on his jurisdiction of taking out the trash, but when he gets outside, the neighbor’s dog Drooper is waiting there, looking hungry.
