Should children do chores? Some believe that children should not do chores. They think that children are too young to cook or clean for themselves or their parents. But I think doing chores is good for them. Doing chores teaches them many important things.
It will help them in their life. There are many things that parents can do to encourage their children to do chores. Here are some suggestions.
Parents should give their children chores to do when they are young.
Parents should show their children how to do chores and teach them one chore at a time. And doing chores is also a teaching tool. Parents use the tool to teach children so that they can care for themselves someday.
Parents should make sure that the chores they give to their children are appropriate to (适合于) their children's ages and abilities (能力). Parents shouldn't, of course, ask a schoolboy to cook when he is doing his homework.
For example, pay them 1 dollar for taking out the rubbish. When a child get paid by his hard work, he will probably have the feeling of growing up.
Sometimes children do not mean to refuse to do chores, but because they are too tired of their parents' nag(唠叨). What's more, don't do chores for children if they forget. Let them know it's their duty to do some of the chores, and nobody will do those for them.
