Essay #472 " Household Tasks" 03.05.19 Nurturing and preparing children to their future independent lives is a primary goal for all parents. That is why they have to instill all the qualities that their children will need from a very young age. Household duties is one of the most efficient way to teach children about responsibilities and the value of hard work. First of all, this is a great means for parents to control children’s behaviour by punishing them with additional duties or to present them with some bonuses if they have accomplished some additional work. This system is great not only because this diminishes corporal punishment, but also shows children would understand that all their deeds have their own results. Thus, this from a very young age would explained children that hard work can provide them with almost everything they want. Another point, this very clearly shows children the amount of work that is required to maintain their comforts and that nothing is done by itself. Even many adults do not realize what it takes to maintain a flat in order and cleanliness, not mention houses. By learning this they will definitely much more respectable to the work of others and would demand other to appreciate their work in return. Finally, this teaches them many useful skills which they would be able to apply in their future lives when their parents would not be near in order to help them. Many teens growing up cannot perform even the simplest household tasks, many of them even cannot use a washing machine and a hoover. This can create many different problems, especially when they start to live separate from their parents. To conclude, in spite of the fact that many parents believe that the childhood of their children should be as carefree as it possible this can provide not a such good effect on their future. Parents should set their primary goal to nurture well-rounded and successful adult and involving them with household duties can do this quite efficiently. That is why parents should provide their children with an opportunity to show their responsibilities and self-organizing skills.
