Children, Tasks at Home & Responsibility
Children
tend to be all about having fun and enjoying life. For that simple fact, there
exists arguments that are tossing around society about giving or not giving
children chores or tasks to do at home. Many parents across the globe have
different perspectives towards this case. Some agree for the idea that children
are indeed needed to be given tasks to do at home but there are some who do not
go in line with the idea. Those who do not agree with the idea are mostly
because they learn that children are all about having fun and enjoying life.
Therefore, they should not be given any tasks to do at home because basically
it is the responsibility of the parents who have to do the job. In contrast,
there lies a lot of parents out there who look at the idea of the case
differently ; that children need to be given tasks at home for the benefit of
growing their feels of responsibility. In fact, owning a responsibility is
something that is needed for children to have and it takes a lot of time to
make them really own it. For that, giving children tasks/chores to do at home
can be what is best to do to help the feels of responsibility in themselves,
not to mention along with that responsibility, they would be discipline as well
for what they do.
Children
need to have responsibility to grow within themselves. For that matter,
parents can give children certain tasks
to do at home, such as cleaning the house by sweeping etc or by helping the
parents in the kitchen. There lies a lot of possible chores to give to children
at home. From that, the children will finally get used to the activity. Then,
that will lead to them feeling that they have the responsibility to do the job.
Besides, this will do them good in the future when they have their own little
family. They can just do the job about home without having to rely on others.
For the simplest and obvious example can be seen from the western and eastern
people. Western culture tend not to give their children tasks at home while it
happens to be the otherwise in the eastern culture. This what makes a western
child and an eastern child different in the case of having the responsibility
about home. A western would not really put so much attention to their home
because they will just have other people to do the job. While an eastern,
mostly-but not all, tend to feel the responsibility that it is them who have to
take care of their home. On the other bright side, the children will be
discipline of what they do because they know what their responsibility is. A
western child who does not have tasks at home tend to shrug things off and have
other people to do the job because the responsibility does not grow with them,
in this very case, the responsibility that has to do with home.
From
what has been revealed above, it is clear enough that children indeed needed to
be given tasks/chores to do at home for the benefit of themselves in
responsibility and in being discipline. It is true that children is unarguably
about having fun and enjoying life but along with it, parents should be well
aware of the fact that their children need to have something important to grow
within themselves. That something important is about responsibility and being
discipline, this will lead children to be independent so they won’t rely on
others. In fact, growing this all needs a lot of time, therefore, if the
children are made to get used to it since the very early of their life, then it
will grow within themselves eventually and last for long. That, it is a good
idea for parents to give chores/tasks to their children.
