Can children do some housework during the National Day holiday?

For many parents, it is normal for children to concentrate on their studies, and there is no need to spend time on other trivial matters. Especially the trivial matter of housework, parents don't want their children to waste time on it. Academic achievement is very important, but a person's growth needs balanced development in all aspects. If children consciously stay away from housework from the beginning, they are likely to leave defects in this area in the future.

So, how does housework help children's growth? Although parents can take care of their children's life problems, they can also train their children's ability to live independently by doing housework. My colleague's daughter is still in primary school, and her parents are very busy at work, so she has learned to do a lot of housework to take care of herself since she was a child. Because school ends early every day, she even prepares meals in advance when her parents come home.

I once asked my colleagues, isn't it too hard for such a young child to do housework at home alone? However, colleagues believe that in addition to studying, we should practice how to live independently, otherwise losing the care of our parents when we grow up will be detrimental to our lives.

Doing housework often can not only cultivate children's self-care ability, but also make children have a sense of family responsibility from an early age. According to the survey results of authoritative organizations, people who have started housework since childhood are more likely to maintain a family than those who don't like housework. They can find joy in life from all kinds of trivial housework, and at the same time, they can add happiness to the whole family through these trivial jobs. For example, when tidying up the room, you can decorate it according to your family's preferences, and you can also cook a delicious dish for your family when you are free. It is in these scattered housework that every family member can get the feeling of caring for each other, thus creating a warm family atmosphere.

What housework are children of different ages suitable for?

Since doing housework has so many benefits, which housework is more suitable for children? For preschool children, their hands-on ability is still relatively weak. They can do some simple work under the guidance of their parents, such as learning to clean tables, wash dishes or wash vegetables. When the children are older, they can be asked to do some complicated housework. For example, clean the room once a week, or learn to use various appliances to wash clothes or cook. When these basic housework are very skilled, parents can encourage their children to participate in the formulation of family plans and let them put forward their own opinions on housework.

Parents should cultivate their children's habit of doing housework and encourage their children to be interested in housework. For example, let children try to complete simple housework and then give spiritual and material praise. At the same time, let children realize that housework is the responsibility of every family member. If children are not interested in housework from the beginning, parents should not force their children to work. Instead, family meetings can be used to explain the division of housework, and then children can choose what kind of housework they can do.

Parents always want their children to become a sound person, and housework can cultivate children's abilities in all aspects, so encouraging children to do housework has become an indispensable part of the education process. When children understand the importance of housework, they will understand that it is not easy for parents to raise them, and they will learn to be grateful and care for others better.
