Is there anyone who likes to do chores? Should children help out around the house?
For some children, doing chores may be the last thing they want to do. And for many parents, getting their children to help out around the house can be a real headache. But one mother found a creative way.
Ms. May is the mother of two sons. She came up with a reward system(奖励体系) for her sons at home. She made a list of chores for her children and gave them money for each task they had finished. The list of chores included cleaning up the house and putting away their toys for 5 yuan each, studying for 15 yuan, and not fighting with each other for 5 to 10 yuan. When her boys had trouble sleeping, she rewarded them with 5 yuan for going to bed. Ms May also opened a “minimart” at home for her children to spend the money in. Her three-year-old and six-year-old sons could buy snacks from her mini mart, which was open from 10 a. m. to 8 p. m. The money she gave to her children was not real money.
Because of this system, both of Ms. May's children now like to do their chores. Her post has got over 15, 000 likes. Many parents have started to learn from her. They use the same way to discipline(管教) their children.
Some experts think this method is helpful, but have suggestions. Dr. Lee, a children's education expert, says parents should help kids understand that helping the family is more than just getting rewards. “Children should learn to take responsibility at home, not just work for money,” he said. A parents' group also reminds families not to give too many rewards, as it might make children care too much about money.
Doing chores is important for children's development. Besides learning basic life skills, doing chores is a good way to exercise children's bodies. Doing chores not only creates chances for parents and children to be together but also helps a child grow into a responsible, confident, and independent person.
