I started to teach my two sons to do chores when they were young. Here’s my way, I print off some chore cards and put them into a box. Then, I let them pick their cards based on (基于) their age. For example 3—5 years old (2 cards); 6—8 years old (3 cards); 9—11 years old (4 cards) and 12—15 years old (5 cards). My boys are very independent. —Addy, 41 |
Although I have a big family with 9 people, we also have over 60 animals to care for. My brothers and I used to complain that we had so much work to do and life was unfair. However, I have learned later that doing chores helps me grow into a better person. —Selena, 12 |
