Housework is a part of family life. To let children have more time to play, some parents don’t ask their kids to do housework. Others teach kids to do housework to make kids become independent (独立的). Then here comes a question: Should children help with housework? My answer is “yes” and the following are my reasons(原因).
Housework teaches kids life skills(技能). Many of the life skills are things that teachers do not teach. That makes learning to do housework become even more important.
Housework makes kids learn responsibility(责任) and independence. Living with their parents, they should know that every family member should do their part in keeping the house clean. After they do things by themselves, they won’t always ask their parents for help.
. When parents do housework, most children think it’s easy. Unless (除非) children try some housework themselves, they won’t know how hard their parents are. Therefore(因此), giving them housework may help this insight(深入理解) come quickly.
Housework help improve(提高) children’s planning skills. When children have homework, housework and out-door activities in a day, they need to decide what to do first. Then they will improve their planning skills. This will become more and more important when children get older and have more responsibilities at school and at home.
It’s true that studies are important for children, but it doesn’t mean that they need to spend all the time on their studies. At different ages, there is some housework that is right for children. Doing right housework can teach your child valuable(有价值的) lessons and they will last into his later years.
