Question of the day If you could change one thing about lyceum “Leader”, what would it be?

Should teenagers help with household chores Some people think children should study and play. Other people think children should help with household chores. Which do you think is better?

Doing chores? Every parent wants their children to grow up to be responsible, contributing members of society. But before they head out on their own and make their mark on the world, our kids need to learn how to be responsible, contributing members of the family household.

Doing chores? Household chores are training exercises for real life. Chores not only teach children important life skills that will prepare them for living on their own, and impart a pullyour-own-weight work ethic, but recent studies show that starting chores at an early age gives children an enormous leg-up in other areas of their life as well.

Doing chores? Unfortunately, very few children today are getting the training at home they need to become industrious, responsible adults. Studies show that children in the West spend little time helping around the house.

Doing chores? While children a century or two ago were expected to do many things to keep the household running, especially if they lived on a farm, today’s 6 -12 year-old child spends only about 24 minutes a day doing chores. This represents a 25% drop even since 1981.

Doing chores? When kids do help around the house, it’s frequently done under duress; parents often have to plead, bribe, and threaten to get their children to do basic things like taking out the trash or cleaning up after dinner.

Doing chores? Anthropologists studying child-rearing across cultures have noted that this “chore strike” by children is primarily a Western phenomenon. In developing societies, children are almost universally eager to help out and be useful.

Doing chores? For example, in the remote Guarra settlement in Nepal, children as young as 18 months carry firewood and water. Young boys of the Nuer people of Southern Sudan and Western Ethiopia can be found herding sheep and goats without any cajoling from their parents.

Doing chores? And infants in a community in Zaire are taught to use even “dangerous” tools like the machete

Doing chores? Manual tasks and higher learning go hand -in-hand. Doing chores has been shown to develop children’s large and fine motor skills; sorting laundry, sweeping, and digging in the dirt are great ways for children to develop and practice these skills.

Doing chores? Studies show that young children who take part in hands-on activities, like chores, develop the parts of the brain that are needed for more abstract thinking like reading, writing, and math.

Allowance for chores? There’s a lot of debate as to whether children should or should not get an allowance for completing chores. One of the benefits for children to get paid for doing chores is that it teaches them the connection between work and money. They learn that if they want something in life, they have to work for it.
