Last Tuesday Lucy did a survey on how often the students do the housework at home. Most of students’answers are HARDLY EVER,because their parents do everything for them. Well, it’s necessary to teach your children the importance of doing the housework when they are at an early age.

By encouraging your children to do the housework, you not only help them learn the basic life skill that they will need as adults, but also make them feel like they are a necessary part of the family.Christine Field, the writer of Life Skills Kids, says it’s important for parents to ask children to take part in the household chores.

“When my son Daniel was about two years old, he loved to be with me when I was doing some washing,”Jane, a full— time mom said to the newspaper. “He couldn’t help me ,but I still gave him towels to wash. Now Daniel is four years old.and he’s our “towel man”! He feels like he is needed.”

Letting your children help you with tasks is also helpful for to get close to your kids and understand them well.
