discuss Do You Encourage Your Kids to Help With Chores

[Apsara]

I don't have kids, I am not even married but I believe teaching kids responsibility early on is very important. I was raised exactly that way. My parents made chores fun with music, rewards, or friendly competitions. They assigned age-appropriate tasks to build independence and teamwork. Do you have kids, how do you motivate your children to help around the house?

Children need to learn responsibility and one of them is by performing chores. I give my children tasks suited to their age. Sometimes we make it a daily routine. The tasks become more enjoyable when I transform them into challenges because this method leads children to view responsibility in a positive way.

Giving the children chores at home is one of the development strategy for children. Through household work, children learn essential life abilities and how to be responsible. In my opinion, the parents should engage their children in household activities so that it become part and parcel of them.

Life is not all about eating and playing. There's work to be done even as a kid. I was taught how to be productive by my mother. Those home skills I learnt have helped me so much in my adult life.

When I eventually have kids, I would start introducing them to house chores from an age as early as five. They won't be pampered to be lazy around and don't know how to do chores. By age 10, I and the mom should rest from chores and the kids should be able to handle major house chores.

Yes, it is the best way to start teaching them young. They have to know that they gotta work for most things in their lives, not that they're brought to them on a platter.

I have 4 children myself, two of whom are adults, one who will be an adult at the end of the year, and my fourth just turned 16 on Friday.

I have always brought them up to help with chores, and have found that encouraging them by rewarding them with pocket money each week has kept them on track.

I have found now that they tend to do their chores without being asked most of the time.

I started doing chores at eight years old being that I was the first daughter in a family. My parents taught me how to handle every chore such that as age 13, I was practically nursing my younger ones myself that were born that time. I can't let my child not know how to do chores early in life. And I mean both male and female.

The world of today is very demanding for parents to work and provide for their children. It comes as a huge relief when a child is able to take up house chores to relive the parents. I would certainly encourage my kids to do house chores early. B

Surely the way to go. Make the kids gey involved in handling house chores and you will realise how much good that you've done for the kids at the end of the day.

My parents always encouraged me to help with chores, which taught me responsibility early on. I also see many of my cousins and friends doing the same with their kids, helping them develop good habits and a sense of contribution at home.

I learned how to cook when I was a third grader, my kid is 4th grader but he hasn't learned how to cook yet. I did chores as a kid and I will surely encourage my kids to do the chores. However, we haven't asked him to do chores yet. Hopefully, soon we will be asking him to do chores.
