At that age Ava was hopeless- suddenly "I'm too tired." "My arms don't work." "I'm too little." and on and on it went..I tried the "Let's race!" and she would answer, "You win!" or "I quit!"...I had to help more than I wanted, but eventually she did more...although she doesn't always want to clean up, even now at 6 1/2. She has improved a ton, though. She often spends an hour or so organizing her room and is proud to let me in when she is done so I can applaud the progress. She never responded to chore charts with the stars for rewards, either...maybe it's the age? (Sorry!)
