Is the goal to “get kids to do chores”?
- GavinMcG 5y agoYes. Learning to manage one's own life is important, and making it a fun process from an early age is worthwhile.
- watwut 5y agoYes. Along with getting them to wash teeth and shower.
- dustymcp 5y agoDon't forget we wipe from front to back!
- pdpi 5y ago“Get kids used to contributing to the household while developing life skills”. Getting chores done is a pleasant side-effect.
- lotophage 5y agoThe goal is not to "get kids to do chores" per se, but to raise adults who are self sufficient and self reliant. "Chores" is a bit of a loaded word because I think a lot of people associate it with dread and a sort of low key undeserved punishment, which is certainly not the goal. In this context it is more akin to having a child pass you pegs while you are trying to hang the washing on the line as opposed to parking them in front of a screen or compete for your attention.
- mostertoaster 5y agoWhat if I’m super wealthy, and i don’t do any chores but have servants who do them all? Is the important part then to teach them how to treat the servants perhaps?
