Questions parents ask

What chores are appropriate for a 4-year-old?

At four, the chart is about repetition, not productivity. Toys in the bin, dirty clothes in the hamper, brushing teeth with help, helping set the table, feeding the dog with a parent nearby. Icons help, since the reading is still catching up. The win is that the chart exists at all, not that it is finished.

How many chores should be on a 4-year-old's chart?

Three to five. More than that and a four-year-old quits looking at the chart. Pick the things you would already nag about, write them down, and let the chart do the nagging.

Should I pay stars or money?

Stars are a record, not a currency. Use them to see what happened during the week. If your family pays for bigger extra jobs, keep that rule separate from ordinary family responsibilities.
