Kids learn at home. Much of their personalities and attitudes get developed depending on the home environment that they grow up in. This can be done when you give them chores that they can and should keep as their personal contribution at home. Here are also some of the top reasons why it's good to assign specific chores that your kids can do: 1. It teaches them how to take on a responsibility - Assigning chores means that the kids would have to cover for a specific activity at home--whether it's cleaning the windows, watering the plants, or taking out the trash. It's good to give kids these chores because it teaches them how they can properly budget their efforts and time to make sure that these chores get accomplished as you would expect them to have done it. 2. It helps them become creative - Chores motivate kids to think about ways on how they can accomplish it well. You only need to show them once or twice how to do the said chore and then let them do it on their own without the need for supervision. You can also encourage them to craft their own way of accomplishing their tasks especially if it will help cut back on the time and effort they would otherwise put on it. 3. It helps them become more mature - The fact that they begin to assume responsibility is enough to tell you that your kids are slowly but surely maturing. As they keep to the chores which have been assigned to them, this already tells you that they can be trusted to accomplish things and that they can follow your directions. 4. It builds initiative - Eventually, you will not be there to always remind them of the chores they needed to do--and you shouldn't really. Initiative is a very important attitude to develop and have because this is what the real world will eventually seek in your kids. The more your kids become an initiator of good actions, the more they will become responsible adults who can accomplish a lot in the future. When assigning chores to the kids, just make sure that you take into consideration their age and build. You should not assign tasks to your kids if you know it's too much and it's something that they cannot practically do. It also helps to start giving them simple tasks and then eventually transform it to bigger and more serious ones. You should also change their tasks every once in a while so that they would not easily get tired of what they do. On top of all these, you should also continue becoming a good example to your kids. Although you may have assigned chores for them to do, you should also help out and keep some tasks you should do on your own. Make sure you also keep to these tasks so that you can be a prime example of responsibility among your kids. Also, remember to teach them how to do things every once in a while and let them apply it on the applicable chores they have.
