Teaching responsibility

What chores do your kids do? Mine tidy up each day (try to anyway), they lay the table and take their dishes to the sink, choose their own clothes, strip beds if asked and really that’s pretty much it. We used to have a great rota for chores but i got ill and it got dropped. I’d love to pick it back up again but don’t want to expect too much of them or too little. They range from DS 11, DS 9, DS 6, DD 4 and DS 18 months.
Please help me teach my brood some responsibility.

Teach them to see work. Get them to help you clear their stuff and once you know they know what to do, get them to be responsible for it. Ask them to do something in a way that makes them feel they are valued and praise and thank them.
It sounds like you are raising them well.
