▶ Your Answer : Some people think that children are not responsible for doing household chores. However, in my opinion, children should spend their time on doing household chores rather than playing and studying This is because it is a good opportunity for children not only to improve the sense of responsibility and independence but to enhance the relationship with their parents.
To begin with, if children were taught how to do household chores, they would develop the sense of responsibility and independence. Doing the chores themselves, they can lead independent lives with feel full of responsibilities. For example, a study was conducted by a psychology majors in university with 200 kids to determine whether doing households affect to their lies or not. The researchers tracked the kids who spend their most of time on doing household chores for ten years. The result was intriguing. After ten years, they has led to an independent lives, feeling full of responsibilities without parent's financial aid. A study found the prime factor for result is doing thing themselves.
On top of that, children can build healthier relationship with parents by doing household chores together. As they spend time on doing a thing with parents rather than friends, they can become close to their parents. For example, I estranged to my parents due to short time we spent together at one time. One day, my parents proposed for me to do the household chores together. At first, it was very awkward for me to do the task with my parents. But soon after, we became very close together by spending most of time together on doing chores and eating dinner. It was a good opportunity for me to recover the relationship with my parents.
To sum up, doing household chores not only contribute to children's independent lives but assure family time. In this regard, spending time on doing household chores is the most essential valuable thing for children of all the activities. |
