There is always a discussion about whether you should get your kids to do chores at home or not. However, getting kids to do housework is really good for children in many ways. So I find it hard to understand why you wouldn't get them to do chores.
The most important reason is that getting children to do chores teaches them a lot of life skills. They need to know how to clean, how to cook, how to shop, etc. It is, however, one of the things that schools don't teach completely, so it is one of the main parts of learning that parents should provide for children before they leave home.
Children like to feel proud about their achievements. Making them help around the house can really help to give them a sense of pride. Also, giving them praise for helping will make them want to do more. They will feel happy to be able to help around the house.
Giving your children a job to do or an area in the house to look after will help them learn how to be responsible in their future life. They will see the benefit（益处）of keeping things organized, clean and tidy—and also be more thankful for what you do for them as they grow up.
Planning is a life skill that can be got from helping around the house. As children get older, you can start to teach them how to understand the needs of themselves and others and plan by themselves. For example, if they help with the washing, let them make sure that they do it in time. They may start to plan ahead.
All these reasons for getting kids to help around the house mean that they'll grow up with a great set of skills that can be good for them throughout their lives. Why not get started today?
