Chores is it ever to early?

My sister posted a picture of my six year old nephew doing the dishes. Now while I personally would not leave it up to a six year old to wash my dishes and get them actually clean, especially if it's their first time. I say go ahead and let them. Let your three year old help out. They might not do a job worthy of a 5 star hotel maid but I grantee you they will get better and they will enjoy helping mommy or daddy. It can  begin the structure needed in the home as well when chores are started. Children are put on a 'you have to do this before you can do this scheduale' and everyone contributes to the home. For those starting off with houses that are clean and small children you seem to have it easy a quick rub down and a small chore for the little one.
But what about those introducing chores at a later time. When the house isn't so clean and a spring cleaning is basically needed and they have a few kids an they aren't little any more. I would recommend a weekend of cleaning. The kids won't like it but it needs to be explained the ease that will come later. The quick wipe downs instead of the intense scrubbing that never really gets finished. So with your day of cleaning it should be a scheduled and well divided day make sure your well involved to and check on them. That is a key factor don't hover just check to make sure they are not playing in the mirror or with that bright new thing they found. lol. An cell phone should be all put in a bowl only taken out after the chores are done. That was less distraction and more work done. It might sound mean but this is a part of growing up an living in a house hold. Contribution. Everyone should be doing it.
In the end you want to get to a place where it doesn't take all day to clean the house. clean the dishes that night after dinner, keep up with laundry, make them wipe the counter down when their done putting on their make up.....its little things that make cleaning and the day less stressful. An that's one of the key points of a clean house: less stress.
