When teaching children to change their ways from bad habits to good it is good to give them time to adapt and also use the gradual change of time and positive effort.
With time and positive comments the child will get used to the new chores and new lifestyle and it will become habit and you must always let the child know good from bad and that the chores are helping the family and that they must be done.
