Household chores are consist of many tasks such as washing dishes, cleaning and washing clothes or so. Though there 're enough chores for all family to share, most children and teenagers don't do any of them. I don't think it is a good idea for parents to leave their children from not doing any tasks. I strongly consider the volunteer to help household task is one of the most significant thing that children should learn.
To begin with, doing a chore can develop childen's independance. After learning to do chores, children get to realize that there 're always things children should do in their house such as cleaning their own room. That may eventually help children to improve power to do tasks by themselves . For example In america, I used to be an exchange student for 1 year. I watched every children did chores even if they were young. Their parents said that they needed to practice tasks since it let children get used to work which they will do in the furture. According to them, habiting doing chores helps children to be more independant so they tend to work well after graduating high school or even in the school year.
Moreover doing household tasks make children feel as 'real' part of their family. While most children watch television or do computer games, parents do all chores after work. So once children get to start doing chores from a small job, they'll notice not only difficulties of doing work but also the role of their parents which is being responsibile on both job and tasks. It will make them more mature and also volunteer to tasks by themselves. According to my america experience I didn't have to do chores at all in my host family's house. There were 3 kids so parents didn't want me to do. But I felt as if I was the outsider of that family since I was out of family activities. Finally I asked them to bestow any kind of job and they did. By giving meal to dogs and chickens made me feel that I became the part of the family. I think doing a chores is really important aspect at home since it makes the one more special as family.
In all this consideration, I strongly support the idea that children should help chores because that improves their independance. Not only that , Doing household tasks implies children about the signigicance of work and role of their parents which eventually makes them more mature and grow willingness to do their job by themselves. |
