people think that children should use their time to play and study rather than
to do other things. They may have their reason to think like that. However, in
my opinion, it is beneficial for children to use their time for doing household
chores. This is because, doing the chores, children can communicate with their
family and they can raise their ability to live alone.
To
begin with, when children do household chores, they can have chance to interact
with their family members. They can communicate with their parents, helping
them to do household jobs. For example, when I was young, my family had a
cleaning day every week. On this day, my dad cleaned a garden, my mom did a
laundry, sister cleaned her room and I washed dishes. Doing works at home, we
all had many talks and spent a lot of time together. And I felt that we were
all connected.
On
top of that, helping parents to do household jobs can give children an
opportunity to raise their independency. In other words, they can learn many
skills which are necessary to live alone when they grow up. For example, since
I was in elementary school, I has helped my mom, helping her to prepare meals.
At first, I often did simple jobs such as making fried egg and washing
vegetables. However, after few years, I could make much more complicate things
like curry or soup. And now, I am living my self to attend a college. A lot of
my friends who are living their selves have meals outside, but I make food
myself. This is good for health and saving money.
To
sum up, the communication opportunity from doing household jobs with family members
and the chance to raise skills to live their selves make it beneficial for
children to do that. For these reasons, I feel that parents do their household
job with their children can be a more valuable time for them.
