5. Teach your child about doing laundry
For my kids, I have a partitioned laundry basket in their room and have instructed them which side is which. Every time I go into the laundry room with their basket, I have them load the clothes and when everything is ready, they get to push the start button. Once the laundry is finished we go to their room and I have them put everything away. It works like a charm, every time!
