I believe it is important to teach our children how to work. I have been told to teach the value of work to my kids when they are young. I have tried a few different things with my kids and wanted to put together a list of age appropriate jobs. I know that every child is capable of different things so this is a pretty general list mostly to help me know how to involve my kids in the future.
