Chores for kids... Do you assign any?

I think that children should help out around the house. My little boy is 2 1/2 and helps pick up his toys sometimes. If I am sweeping he likes to help or use the dust pan and brush. And he likes to try mopping too. It might just be play to him but he's learning at the same time. I think the chore depends on the age of the child and the parent will know I think what age and chore to chose or start at.

I believe in that, I think assigning homechores fir their age is important in shaping their personality. I believe that children trained to do homechores grow up to be responsible individuals. Eight years old is alright, just simple tasks a child can handle. The important thing here is the sense of responsibility and independence we are gradually instilling in them, very important qualities they will need when they grow up.

My Papa would not tolerate a child who wakes up, eats and looks dump and disintereted in the affairs of the home-I know, I must do exactly that to my children. They study in boarding schools, but as soon as they are home, they allocate themselves fixed chores, one specializes in cooking lunch, the other prefers to clean around the home, and I love to see them contribute to the well being of the whole family!

Maybe you can assign chores to kids which they can handle or how well they can perform that task. Meanwhile, we don't have to expect perfection from them.

for me,i started to handle housework when i was just6 years old.i began to go to primary school as grade one;no kindergarten.but i just know cook from 2003;my grandma was die in that year...washing,cooking,cleaning,farming...all of these are so familiar to coco.that's,coco's sweet memory...
