The Power of Dad's Involvement

Studies have shown that the involvement of fathers in parenting tasks has numerous positive effects on children's development. When dads take an active role in household responsibilities, kids tend to have higher self-esteem, better social skills, and improved academic performance.

By emphasizing the role of dad in the chore process, "Do Your Chores, Love Dad" seeks to utilize this powerful influence to create a positive association between housework and a loving parent-child relationship. When kids see their fathers actively engaging in chores and showing appreciation for their efforts, they are more likely to perceive these tasks as an opportunity to bond and contribute to the family unit.

The "Do Your Chores, Love Dad" Method

The key to implementing this method lies in communication, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Here's how to make it work:

1. Open Discussion: Sit down with your children and discuss the importance of chores, not only in maintaining a tidy home but also in fostering a sense of teamwork and family unity.
2. Assign Responsibilities: Delegate specific chores to each family member based on age-appropriate tasks. Involve your kids in the decision-making process to establish a sense of ownership and responsibility.
3. Create a Chore Schedule: Display a visual chore chart that clearly outlines who is responsible for each task and when they need to be completed. This will help establish consistency and ensure that everyone understands their role in the household.
4. Set Time Aside: Dedicate dedicated chore time at regular intervals. This can be a daily, weekly, or monthly plan, depending on the nature of the tasks. Make sure that everyone participates, including dad!
5. Make it Fun: Incorporate fun elements into chore time to make it more enjoyable for everyone involved. Play upbeat music, turn cleaning tasks into a game or challenge, or offer small rewards for completing chores efficiently.
6. Express Appreciation: Encourage your children to express gratitude towards their dad for his involvement in the chore process. This will further strengthen the emotional bond and inspire a sense of appreciation and respect within the family.

ABOUT THIS BOOK & THE 52 PROJECT

This is a companion piece to an art exhibit of the same title. It appeared as part of a two month summer series of mini-exhibitions at the Riverside Art Museum, consisting of nearly three dozen “newish” artists. This is my first book of poetry and my first creation to appear in a museum.
This project captures one father’s low-tech effort to communicate with his sons. The plywood and copy paper collage, as well as the poetry chapbook’s design, are influenced by the primary raw materials used in this exhibit: spiral bound notebooks. Seven notebooks of messages and doodles were copied, cut, and reordered to illustrate how people make-up family bonds and roles using complex communication systems.
Fear was the catalyst. Fear I was losing my connection to my children. Fear they would be harmed by my divorce. Fear that an identity and worldview honed over two decades of marriage was gone and I had no idea how to fill that hole. So I started writing notes to them. These were mostly reminders about chores, dinner plans, and where I could be found. We added doodles, then more detailed drawings and puns, as a way to entertain each other. The project is proof that the power to destroy and create anything worthwhile is in our hands.
