Age Appropriate Chore List - for Children 13 years to 17 years

At this point in your child's development, they have reached their young adult years. If you have been training them well, they will basically be ready to leave the house in a few short years and be able to take care of themselves.

During this time, focus on tasks that you have have missed in their younger years. And give your child as much responsibility as possible so that it will be an easy transition for them when they are actually on their own. See the below age appropriate chore list for children ages 13-17: **
