Dear Busy Parent,

You know how it is ... You come home to find the house a mess,
backpacks in front of the door, the kids are screaming at each other,
clothes strewn everywhere, dirty dishes in the family room, more dirty
dishes on the kitchen table. And the moment you ask for help, a bigger
screaming match breaks out. As usual, no one takes responsibility for
the problem, and everyone waits for you to step in to fix it.

Daily family life is reduced to tears, yelling, and bribes to get
kids to help around the house.

child doing chores in the kitchen

You tell yourself you will make sure they help next time. But this
time, it was just easier to do it yourself.

You know your children need to be responsible and self-sufficient, but
life happens. You want your children to take charge of their
belongings, and take more pride in their home, but that seems like a
pipe dream. You vow to develop a system, but instead you say to
yourself "I'll get around to it later."

I was once where you are now.
Maybe you can relate to my story.

In 2003, I was a full-time working mom to six-year-old, Anna, when I
traveled to Russia again to adopt my second daughter, Alena, then age
three-and-a-half. WOW, did our lives turn upside down after Alena
joined our family. I had to start from scratch to teach Alena even
basic hygiene and life skills for which she had never been exposed. I
arranged a leave from work and immersed myself in training my daughter
how to live in a family and how to behave in most situations. I often
said to myself, "How did this get so hard? What am I doing wrong?" Each
day I felt like I was running in circles, losing ground, and losing
control. What a challenging and intense time that was for our family.

They say that "necessity is the mother
of invention." It surely was for me!

As an Organizing Consultant, I was accustomed to creating systems for
clients every day. If I could help families and high-powered corporate
executives to be more productive and lead a clutter-free life, then I
was not going to be conquered by a preschooler. But the reality was
that our family life was in crisis, and I desperately needed to find a
solution!

I searched high and low, spent loads of time and money and I tried
everything under the sun ... charts, lists, chore games ... but it was
all so much work and nothing seemed to work for long.

Each system we tried had some positive features, but none offered a
complete system that ...
* guided my kids to take ownership of their fair share
* clearly communicated what was expected of them
* showed me how to fairly assign chores based on age
* didn't take up lots of space like huge wall charts
* worked for both my kids of different ages
* was customizable
* would grow with them as they matured

So I designed our own complete family chore system, like nothing I was
able to find on the market. I drew on years of working with families as
a professional organizer, as well as my experiences as a parent of two,
and incorporated the best of expert's knowledge in parenting,
developing family values, organizing and age-appropriate chore
development guidelines. The results have been incredible!

My children's attitude and
confidence soared. Honestly, they are
happier children, and it shows!

Other moms noticed and
wondered how I did it!

family chore system, household chores list and chore charts Mom, Can I
Help Around the House? A Simple, Step-by-step System for Teaching Your
Children Life-long Skills for Pitching in and Picking up

I began sharing my system with other parents, and they experienced the
same positive transformation in their homes and with their families. I
documented and tested this empowering system for my organizing clients.
WOW! This is exactly what we needed to develop a chore system in our
home. We had tried various other methods, but none offered a
comprehensive package that included all the important elements. Janet
thought of everything with the "Mom, Can I Help Around the House"
system.

Our family is involved in lots of activities. With this system in
place, I feel more freedom to fully participate, knowing that I have a
plan in place to tackle our home maintenance tasks. Our household now
has more structure and with far less conflict and stress over how to
get it all done.

My boys love contributing and are even anxious to take on more chores
that they see on the list. Being a part of the family and helping with
chores is a definite character builder, and I realize now that they
were capable of so much more. It just took the right system to empower
us!

Thank you, Janet!

Let me share with you one lesson
I've learned in my many years as an
Organizing Consultant and parent ...

You cannot truly gain control of your home and achieve
an organized lifestyle if your children are a part of the
problem and not an active and consistent part of the solution.

I wish I had this book 10 years ago! I can't count the number of
parents who have complained to me about their children and chores.

Chores are a major source of stress in even the happiest of families.
When I provided therapy for children, I wished I had a resource like
`Mom, Can I Help Around the House?' Parents need answers and a method
to follow to motivate their children for good behavior. Janet Nusbaum's
`Mom, Can I Help Around the House?' system provides answers for
distraught parents. Janet's no-nonsense approach leads to calmer homes,
decreased conflict, and most importantly, a feeling of responsibility
and confidence in your children. I have worked with literally hundreds
of children in my career and often wished that their parents had tools
like this to teach them confidence and responsibility.

If you want help teaching your children critical life skills like
responsibility, self-sufficiency, confidence, teamwork, and
self-discipline, then you owe it to yourself and your children to get
the `Mom, can I help around the House?' system.

kids doing chores in the kitchen from her household chore list You
didn't learn to bake without a recipe, and you no longer have to try to
teach your children home responsibilities without a recipe, or a
"How-to" guide. The days of arguing, nagging, yelling, and bribing can
soon be a thing of the past.

With Mom, Can I Help Around The House? A Simple Step-by-Step System for
Teaching Life-long Skills for Pitching in and Picking up, you will
learn step-by-step methods and instructions for teaching your children
how to cheerfully take part in household chores without whining or
battles.

Frustration and confusion melt away, and are replaced by consistent
habits, routines, structure and harmony, where everyone pitches in.

But that's just one of the benefits of this stress-reducing system. The
parent workbook provides the foundation, but the significant changes
occur when your children begin using their chore binder and take
ownership for their household responsibilities.

The hand-held "In My Family Everyone Works Together" chore binder
contains a comprehensive household chores checklist and more than 80
common household chore cards. It's just like your children having their
own mini-planner and instruction manual for every household task. (TIP
.... You can use the master task inventory tool to plan and organize
your own chores!)
Imagine how different your household can be...

Imagine ... your child coming to you and saying, "Mom, before
I go play, is there anything I can do to help?"

Imagine .... coming home to a clean home...

.... a school day morning where your children get up and
immediately make their beds...

.... a Saturday morning where your children take the initiative
and start the laundry ...

.... your toddler picks up his or her own toys without being
asked...

.... your preschooler gets out a cloth and dusts - and does a
great job!

.... your elementary child brings you her assignment notebook
to be signed and suggests a plan to accomplish her
art project due next week.

... your teen takes out the trash, loads and unloads the
dishwasher and vacuums ... without being asked...

"Janet has been helping my family get organized most of this year, so I
was thrilled to learn that she created a system for teaching my
children to contribute at home. It was such a time-saver to have a
system that was already created, tested by a professional organizer and
by other moms, rather than trying to create a system for our family
from scratch."

~ Laura Biddle-Bruckman, Carmel, Ind.
mom to three children, (age 10, 12 and 14)

No matter how hard you've tried before, THIS ready-made system will:

Quickly help you develop a comprehensive home maintenance plan
and guide you to fairly assign each task to the right person

Decrease your stress with easy systems and routines for each
family
member (toddlers, preschoolers, elementary children, teenagers,
AND
parents)

Decrease the pressure of doing it all - I'll show you step-by-
step how to easily lead your team and delegate effectively.
You no longer have to be responsible for doing everything! And,
isn't that a relief?

Increase your children's self-esteem and self-sufficiency.
Kids
feel so much better about themselves when they know that they
are
contributing in a meaningful way.

Develop responsibility and generosity in your children

Save hours each week that you were spending nagging your kids
and doing the work yourself

Enjoy better relationships with your kids (and spouse) since
you
are no longer emotionally wrapped up in verbal chore wars

Reduce battles with your spouse because together you now have
a
plan in place for regular home maintenance

Increase YOUR confidence as a parent because you know that you
are appropriately delegating responsibilities based on
developmental
level and age

Provide your children with the structure of a comprehensive
plan
that works in any home

For two years now, we have used this system in our household, without
fail. It quickly became an integral part of our family life.

questions for you:

the House?' system?

binder. This is a custom-made, poly-construction binder designed

The Mom, Can I Help Around the House? system will hold your hand and
walk you through every step to set up your family's chore system? And
you only have to purchase it once? There are no additional supplies
needed!

... For the cost of taking your kids to a matinee movie, you can gain a
long-term system that teaches your children essential life skills for
their current and future success. You can regularly experience a home
where chores and responsibilities are completed and everyone pitches
in.

... For less than one family meal at a local restaurant, you can
experience peace, harmony and structure in your home.

... And experience the question that I routinely hear ...

"How can I help you, Mom?"

"The `Mom, Can I Help Around the House?' system works wonderfully for
my family. Now I don't have to continuously badger my girls about what
needs to be done, they have it all right there in their chore binder.
It gives them such a sense of ownership and responsibility, not to
mention how much it helps me! I just wish we had done this several
years ago, but it's never too late!!"

~ Mary Delaney, Westfield, Ind.
wife and mother of three (ages 8, 12 and 16)

If you're on the fence about whether this system
could benefit your family ... perhaps you're a
do-it-yourselfer who thinks "I can design my own
system. I just need time to get around to it."

Let's be realistic ... if you had the time AND knew
what to do, wouldn't you have already done it?

As a parent of an adopted preschooler who came to me
with many behavioral issues, I had to immediately invest
the time to learn how to regain structure and harmony
in our home and teach my daughter crucial life skills.

My parenting challenges work to your benefit.

You don't have to take the time to figure it all out.
I've done all the work of designing and testing
this proven system - saving you loads
of time, energy, money, and stress!

Who has the time to ...

Stressed and overwhelmed woman Buy the books and research the
current
body of knowledge

Carve out time to read the books

Design the system you'd like to try

Guess what chores are age-appropriate for
each of your kids

Buy the materials to make your system

Design and make the charts, forms, house rules, guidelines,
etc.

Implement the system and hope you've thought of everything

Keep track of the charts and who is doing what

And haven't you already tried other systems? How did they work out for
you?

If I sat down with you in your home to help you implement this system
personally, it would cost you more than $500 in consulting fees.

Now, take a moment to imagine
how this proven system, `Mom, Can
I Help Around the House?'
will improve your household ...

child reading her household chore checklist Clean sinks and
counters
Freshly vacuumed floors
Beds made
Toys neatly put away
Bedroom floors clear
Towels hung up
Homework organized
The trash at the curb ...

What a difference the structure of a comprehensive system makes.

What a difference ...
