Should children be required to help with household tasks as soon as they are able to do so?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have to learn lots of things to become mature during the process of experiencing something. Therefore, I believe that if we ask our children to do chorus as soon as they are able to do, it must be good for them, and my reasons are as follows.

Firstly, we can teach our children to be a responsible person by way of helping with household tasks. When at a little age, they do not realize how serious it is whatever they have done. For example, they might be very naughty to spill the milk or litter stuff about on the floor, but do not care it at all. I reckon if we ask them to clean the floor on their own, they will start to be conscious of how hard their mothers do in keeping the home neat and tidy. Children will realize if they throw their toys away at random every day, they have to spend the double time more than that they put stuff in order every day. Then, they will be reliable for their behavior from doing household.

Secondly, we can train children how to live without parents. In my country, it is a culture that parents will take care of their children forever no matter how old they sons or daughters are, especially for sons. Take a friend of my friend’s for example. He is in the mid 30s, and lives with his parents now. However, he cannot live without his mother. It does not mean that he loves his mother so much; on the contrary, he counts on his mother with every daily trivial, like doing dishes, laundry, sweeping the floor, cooking meals, paying his cell phone bills, and among other things. He does not own any basic living skills, for his mother will prepare anything for her son well. I believe it is because parents spoil their children so much that children do not have any opportunities to learn. Then, children may start to be used to, and therefore, they abandon the desire they want to learn.

To sun up, I believe it is a great opportunity for us to teach children to be a responsible person, for they can learn how to undertake the result they made. Then, we also can teach them how to deal with something they are not familiar yet. It is an idiom, "Failure is the mother of success." I think experiences are our best teachers.

Should children be required to help with household tasks as soon as they are able #3 (permalink) Wed Aug 31, 2011 17:07 pm   Should children be required to help with household tasks as soon as they are able
 

I'm trying my best to prepare TOEFL test.Please give my essay some advice.

Should children be required to help with household tasks as soon as they are able to do so?
In my notions,children should be required to engage in household tasks as soon as they are able to do so bacause it is beneficial for the children now and future.I have enough reasons to certificate my views.
Children will benefit from engaging in household tasks due to cultivating their responsibility for societies and families.At present,some people only know their enterprises but ignore their families\societies,even they do ignore their enterprises at all.Especially some youths,although I am the youth.They are very free to anything so that they are selfish.For instance,as to sex,they do at will,which lead to pregnancies against their will;thus,they have to abort one time,two times,three times…more than ten times…dozens of times!!!As a result,they are sterile and they are too late for regrets.I find that most of these people are not able to do household tasks so that the families' responsibilities and societies' responsibilities doesn't exist anything in their mind;they say long live the liberalism yet spoil them.Ouch!Ought not very much!
Besides,children will benefit from engaging in household tasks due to the children will being able to enhause the charm of themselves now and future.If two men and two women,especially two men,are going to choose spouse.Their abilities are equal except the fields about household tasks.In this time,you will discover the one who does household tasks well will simply choose the best because the future spouses reckon that they are all-round,they are wonderful.
In addition,children will benefit from engaging in household tasks due to making them reckon things by themselves independently.An idiom say well:There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes.It tells us that the dispositions of people are different,which lead to the distinct people's favor.The household tasks is the same,like cooking,if you do the cooking by youselves independently,you will cook the meals available to you,you will dispose to enjoy your meals;moreover, you will not hungry owing to not being able to do the household tasks.
To sum up,helping with household tasks as soon as they are able to do so can train children.So,please let the children help with household tasks as soon as they are able to do so.
