Sometimes an adult asks me to do a chore, like putting dishes away or taking out the rubbish

Can you help me
 please

Chores help keep our home clean and help everyone share the work

I can feel annoyed, confused, or worried about doing the chore the wrong way

I don't know where to start

It can help when the chore is broken into small steps and I start with the first step

If I feel stuck, I can ask for help or take a short break and then try again

Can you tell me
again

When I finish my chore, I can feel proud because I helped at home

All done!
Awesome!!!
