Every one is doing his bit in today’s competitive and demanding world. To be the winner one must be highly skillful and fulfills the requirements. Keeping this in mind, I strongly agree with the statement that children should be required to help with household tasks as soon as they are able. I explain my view in the support of personal, social and economical reasons. Personally I think children should be made aware of certain responsibilities which they are going to deal with in their later life. If this is not done so they become extra ordinary lazy and irresponsible in their tasks.
For instance, I have seen many children whose parents were spoon feeding them. Later on, those children are not able to do any thing on their own. Indulging younger ones in daily tasks makes their mind sharper. They think technically about every thing they work on. Hence, it enhances their mental abilities. This technique of involving children in different tasks makes them independent. For instance, if they face such situation where they have to do some thing on their own, they could do it. Children come to know about their duties in their daily life.
For example, to proper their bed sheet in the morning, setting dishes and other utensils on the dining table, help their mom in dish washing etc. From the social prospective, children learn helping others in the society in various ways. Our society is built in such a way that some tasks are performed dependently while some are performed independently. Like, funeral ceremony is a dependent task while studying in university is an independent task. Children can differentiate both if they are made accountable of their duties.
They also learn how to be pleased and please others in society by doing something in beautiful manner. Manners and habits which parents teach children at very early age are never forgettable. They move with them as they grow and still remain with them until their death. Economically, children need to understand the connection between the effort and reward. They should be compensated for their work with a warm hug, a candy or an ice-cream. It motivates them to do work and help do it beautifully with their aesthetic sense.
Appreciation encourages young ones and helps them to achieve self-confidence. Secondly involve young ones in making little budgets for home so they get to know about the family income and realize how parents earn, spend money on them and save for the future. This allows them not be spend thrifts like their peers and they can also manage their own pocket money. In conclusion, participating in house hold activities and tasks helps children in various ways. Most important, Children learn the give and take policy.
