Let them do them on there own and if they don’t do it by the time they are supposed to then you can remind them, if you always are reminding them then they probably will not like that.
My kids get 50 cents for each chore done on their charts, for a total of $10/week. I don’t remind them. If they can’t do it on their own, they don’t deserve my money.
I think that it is alright to remind them every once in a while, just don’t gripe at them about it. You shouldn’t have to remind them everyday because then will become dependent on you telling them. Just remember to be patient and don’t let the situation become an argument.
every day my mom or dad just tells me what to do, except things i know to do automatically, such as laundry, and making sure my room is clean and keeping the bathroom looking good. but for stuff like weeding, vacuuming, and things that you don’t necessarily do everyday my dad tells me to do them on the day he wants it done. by the way im 13 and i get paid knowledge of being able to do things when im older

Depends on the age of the kids, if they are younger, then a reminder of the chores (and to look at the chore chart!) is a good thing.

if they do it anyway, then you shouldnt remind them. it will most likely frustrate them and they might not do it.
