"WOW! This is exactly what we needed to develop a chore system in our home. We had tried various other methods, but none offered a comprehensive package that included all the important elements. Janet thought of everything with the 'Mom, Can I Help Around the House?' system. Our household now has more structure and with far less conflict and stress over how to get it all done. My boys love contributing and are even eager to take on more chores that they see on the list. Being a part of the family and helping with chores is a definite character builder, and I realize now that they were capable of so much more. It just took the right system to empower us!"
- Jessica Rodgers

"I wish I had this book 10 years ago! I can�t count the number of parents who have complained to me about their children and chores. Parents need answers and a method to follow to motivate good behavior in their children. Janet's no-nonsense approach leads to calmer homes, decreased conflict, and most importantly, a feeling of responsibility and confidence in your children. I have worked with literally hundreds of children in my career and often wished that their parents had tools like this to teach them confidence and responsibility. If you want help teaching your children critical life skills like responsibility, self-sufficiency, confidence, teamwork, and self-discipline, then you owe it to yourself and your children to get the 'Mom, Can I Help Around the House?' system."
- Leah R. Jackman-Wheitner, Ph.D. Psychologist and Consultant

"It was such a time-saver to find a system that was already created, tested and proven by other moms, rather than trying to create a system for our family from scratch. It was a quick and easy way to take the initiative and get-going with our family�s home management plan."
- Kristi Lammers

"A comprehensive and practical guide to help parents teach their children necessary home management and organizational skills. With expert instruction and real life stories, from her work as a Professional Organizer and as a parent, Janet has written the recipe for parents to tackle this often conflict-ridden process with confidence."
- Standolyn Robertson, CPO and President, National Association of Professional Organizers
