There are many ways you can keep your children-rich family organized, whether you’re usually homebound or always on the go! Check these ideas for moms and dads of large families!
* Create a weekly chore chart that ensures everyone knows what jobs they need to do.
* Schedule weekly one-on-one time, so every child knows they can count on getting individual attention.
* Give everyone a personalized go-bag. Make the kids responsible for grabbing their bag as they head out the door.
* Offer to carpool with other families, so you can make your trips to and from activities more efficient.
* Create a space that boosts learning, so everyone can concentrate on their school work.
* Use your time in the car to check in with every child. Invite everyone to share about their day, and see which child may need a little extra help.
* Take fun seriously by engaging in activities that give you an opportunity to enjoy one another’s company, like going out for ice cream.
* Encourage nightly speed cleans that make cleaning fast and fun. When you turn cleaning into a game each evening, your mornings will go more smoothly.
