The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Design a chore system for our household. Ages of children and adults: [AGES]. Household tasks that need doing, daily and weekly: [TASKS]. Skills and limits (for example, a child with a physical disability, an adult working shifts): [SKILLS_LIMITS]. What we want to avoid (nagging, payment arguments): [AVOID]. Sort the tasks by what each age can reasonably do, stating that children vary and the parents know best what suits theirs. Create a rotating weekly chart in a table with tasks, who, how long it takes, and the standard for done, described in a sentence a child can understand. Include a section on how to teach a task in three steps (show, do together, do alone), a fairness check that totals minutes per person, and a plan for sick days and holidays. Add a short family meeting script for introducing the system and asking for changes. Offer two alternatives to money-based rewards and note that families have different views on pocket money. Add a short section called When It Doesn't Work, listing five common problems (tasks not done to standard, complaints about fairness, forgetting) and one calm response for each. Include a printable one-page version for the fridge and a three-line script for praising effort without turning chores into a performance review.
