How can parents really get their children to do housework? It is difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be ready to do housework, but with one of the following suggestions, you really can get your children to help at home.
If parents give their children the impression that they can never do anything quite right, then they will regard themselves as unfit or unable persons. Unless children believe they can succeed, they will never become totally independent.
My daughter Carla's fifth-grade teacher made every child in her class feel special. When students received less than a perfect test score, she would point out what they had mastered and declared firmly they could learn what they had missed.
You can use the same technique when you evaluate(评价) your child's work at home. Don't always scold and give lots of praise instead. Talk about what he/she has done right, not about what he/she hasn't done. If your child completes a difficult task, promise him/her a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.
Learning is a process(过程) of trying and failing and trying and succeeding. If you teach your children not to fear a mistake or failure, they will learn faster and achieve success at last.
