“everyone has to do chores. We use real tools and do real work. I teach them how to scrub a water trough, haul hay, muck a stall. They discover that manual labor is enjoyable, especially when you’re taking care of something other than yourself.”
I definitely haven't found chores enjoyable yet. Hoping to. 😀
But yeah I've definitely witnessed kids saying ”*I* want to be the one to scoop the poop!!”
Needed this reminder today.
