Important Lessons Children Can Learn From Housekeeping

The relationship between parents and kids have been a subject to a great number of scientific examinations and surveys concerning this unbreakable bond. Parents are the ones who teach the kid to make a difference between good and bad, significant and insignificant. Apart from school as an institution the family is the thing that forms the moral values of a kid and make him a responsible adult. The first seven years are the most important. You you fail in teaching your kid some life lessons during that time you can hardly correct that mistake in the years to come. Understandably a 7-year old kid can’t understand the complicated life rules and norms so trying to give him simple advices and make him help in the household is a good start.

·      A kid who knows what does it mean to take a responsibility is more likely to become a prosperous adult. Making his own bed every day will teach him to be punctual and neat. Buying a pet and making him take care of it is another good option.

·         The ability to work in a team will be greatly appreciated in both school and work so if your kid has siblings, give them a simple, easy task to work together on.

·         Always praise the efforts your kids puts in performing a particular task. It gives him the feeling of being appreciated and boosts his self-esteem.

·       A lot of parents make the mistake of promising to buy something expensive if their kid get good grades at school or help in the household. That’s totally wrong. The little one should understand that in the real life he wouldn’t get a material or any kind of reward for every good deed. In order to make him understand the value of the money, buy a piggy bank and make him save up for something small. You can even occasionally put a coin or two in there to encourage him.

·        Don’t let the grandparents spoil you kid. They can spend some time cooking or doing the shopping for the week but all too often the grandparents allow the kids things that are forbidden by the parents. That’s a really destructive method for bringing up a kid because hiding the truth and thinking that “nobody will notice” is the first form of lying.

Don’t forget that happy kids means a happy marriage and vice versa. If your kids grow unhappy and discontent it is a sign for future troubles. So make sure you are mature enough to have family and kids and bring them up in the way you wanted to be brought up. Don’t be too harsh on them but don’t be lenient as well. Prepare them for the tough reality in the most appropriate, according to you, way. You are the one who is responsible for raising successful individuals. Give your best to take pride in them one day.
