Materials Needed:
Construction paper
Picture of your child
Marker

Directions:
Let your child know that you are proud of the way she has been growing and acting older, and you'd like to give her a job to be responsible for.
Offer a few different jobs to choose from that are appropriate for her age and abilities, for example, filling up a pet's water bowl with fresh water every morning, putting his clean laundry away, dusting while you are cleaning, or carrying her own dishes to the sink. Let your child know how long you expect her to be responsibility for the job. It might be a regular job that she will do all the time, or just something that you expect her to do this week.
Let your child know that this is an important, and regular responsibility, that she will have to do it every time the job has to be done, not just once. Shake hands on her decision.
Tape or glue your child's picture to a sheet of construction paper. At the top, write her name, "RayAnns's Job." Underneath the picture, write "Fill King's water bowl." Tell your child that you are going to hang up the job chart so he won't forget her responsibility and so that she will see how well she is doing and how often she has to do the job.
