Let the Children Do Their Own Chores — Parenting Guide

Train the child for life so that tomorrow s/he will not be a misfit in society or the organization.

In life, we study in many institutions. We become students of famous teachers and schools. We pay huge fees and learn a lot in return. All this education and all this knowledge affect our society but minor. The first thing is that it is not compulsory for everyone to study and it is also not compulsory for everyone to study with a good teacher.

I want your attention on a school that is not even mentioned, nobody talks about it and is not considered an institution. My own opinion is that every child’s “home” is their first institution. This is the school where his thoughts are written in his clear and transparent mind. The thoughts written at this stage are the way to live his future. All family members like father, mother, sister, brother, etc. are his teachers and the child learns from their work and their conversation.

You see, this university is your home environment. If humanity is taught there, open thinking and truth are given, the child will become a good human. If he is taught deceit and lies, even if he is in a good college, he will still be the same person he learned at home.

It is important that your child does his own work to make him a good human. He should clean his own shoes, mend his own sheets, etc. And all of this will not happen by what you say but by what you do. Since the birth of my son, I clean my shoes myself so that tomorrow he cleans his without looking at his mother or anyone else.

It is important that parents teach what the child is capable of, according to the age chart. Do not try to teach the child what he is not yet capable of. Otherwise, the parents themselves will suffer, and the child too. In such a case, the communication between parents and children can be damaged.

Let’s practice it

Chart the daily routine according to the age of the child. For example, the first thing he does is get up at 5:30 in the morning. Make this chart with the child and have the two of you follow it together.
