Overview

The Melissa and Doug Deluxe Magnetic Responsibility Chart is a great fun and positive way to teach your children of all ages to learn the values of helping, good behavior and accomplishing chores and be rewarded for their efforts.

So many parents struggle to effectively ‘teach’ their children to help out and take responsibility for chores around the house or to exercise manners and good behavior.

The conventional methods seem to wane very quickly and it more often than not turns into trying to ‘make’ children at an older age do their chores and behavior desirably grudgingly.

This ingenious and simple concept board turns the entire process on it head and actually gets the younger ones into helpful and well mannered habits from a much earlier age and makes them ‘want’ to complete their chores and act more positively towards others, which are of course rewarded accordingly!

It really is a fun way to not only introduce helpful responsibility to them, but also a great interactive learning experience for both kids and adults involved.

The Board

The board measures 16 inches by 12 inches folded up and 16 inches by 24 inches when open.

The top part of the board contains the magnetic area where the tasks / chores / behaviors are laid out with the aid of the days of the week.

The Melissa & Doug Deluxe Magnetic Responsibility Chart contains some 90 magnet to indicate the different behaviors and rewards, so there really is plenty of choice and certain to cover more than the household tasks that you could possibly imagine.

The bottom part of the board has a dry erase board that you can use as you like, but also to keep all of the ‘unused’ tasks at easy reach.

Chores, Behaviors and Rewards

The picture above is a selection of some of the common tasks and behaviors that are included.

As you can see, the actual graphics and nature of the tasks and behaviors are really tailored towards youngsters and the simplicity of completing them means that it will promote greater desire to keep on going and be rewarded for other chores and good behavior as time goes on.

What I really like about the ‘chores’ that are included is the fact that they are not all ‘chores’!

It is really a nice reminder and touch to take this fun opportunity to instill into youngsters good behavioral aspects, such as manners and consideration for others and I think by mixing up the whole task list in this way, it adds a lot more variety and fun to the whole experience.

Many parents have used the Deluxe Magnetic Responsibility Chart behavior tasks as an opportunity to talk and teach their child about the importance of each one and thus provide a great learning opportunity at the same time.
