L.M.
This is how I see it:
Things done for self care should not be considered a chore (brushing teeth and hair, bathing, etc and yes, that includes putting the tube on the toothpaste so it doesn't dry up and can't be used). Having personal responsibilties should also not be a chore (clearing own dishes, putting own clothes in hamper, picking up after oneself)
Chores would be something done for the mutual benefit of the family/household (taking trash out, cleaning, setting the table, doing laundry...just plain helping out).
For this reason, I don't really have a lot of "chores" that I assign my 6 year old (or really my older son either). If they are doing their self care and personal responsibilities, I really don't have much in the way of chores that I need them to do all the time but when I need a hand I ask.
