Has some good ideas4
This is a handy little book to have on hand. I have had several problems getting my children involved in the housekeeping and this book had several ideas that I could implement easily. I review this book whenever I need it. Nice to have on hand.

401 Old ways to bore your kids.1
This book is way too outdated for our hectic, electronic, urban life. I don't recommend it, it doesn't take into consideration that we don't live in a farm and that our kids watch television and surf the web too. I have to say that I only read it briefly and decided it didn't apply to me.

Good Ideas for a house full of kids!5
This book had lots of great information about the things we NEED to teach our kids before they venture out into the unknown. With 5 kids ranging in age from 18 years to 10 months, everyone is in a different place and it has been fun to watch the younger kids learn from the older kids. We have some goals in place for each kid and they are eager to start learning lots of "grown up" things!
