REWARDING CHILDREN FOR DOING HOUSE CHORES

Every member of the family has a responsibility to each other. Just as it is the responsibility of the parents to provide for and take care of the children, it is also the children's responsibility to help their parents with daily tasks and chores since they are also part of the family. Doing house chores helps children learn how to take care of their own family when they are old and themselves. They can learn some skills like cooking, cleaning, etc. that would help them in their daily lives, even when they grow older, knowing they will also become parents and take on responsibilities as one. If a parent decides to give the child a reward for helping, then it shouldn't be money but in a more moral way in order to show appreciation and encouragement and to let them know the value of hard work, but this shouldn't be done every time. Also, children shouldn't expect special financial rewards from their parents for helping in the house since the parents are the ones struggling and going through a lot to make sure they train them and provide everything they need.

Growing as the first child in my family, i was the one who does most of the chores at home including looking after my younger one when my parents were not around,at first i felt it was too much but as i grew up i realized that doing chores helps me to learn how to be self reliance ,i still remenber during Saturdays, how my mom would wake me early in the morning so we can prepare and go to the farm during planting period, and even harvesting season,i would help her in washing clothes,sweeping,preparing meals and doing so many other chores at home,as the only daughter i knew my mother always tried her best so i would help her in most of the things,my mom would be very proud of me,and would shower blessings on me she would make sure my portion of food and meat was the biggest,that was a normal way of showing her appreciation in order to encourage me to do more. And I became used to it.
Giving a child financial rewards every time they do housework makes the child believe that they must always be rewarded or compensated for their achievements and efforts in life.
