【推荐2】Everyone has different ways of letting their kids do housework. Here are some ideas that I think would work.

Start young. Of course, when your kids are babies, your main job is to talk to them. But at the same time, letting them see you at work might help, especially when they begin to walk.

Start from some easy housework. You can give them some easy housework to do, such as washing vegetables and taking out the rubbish. And when they do a good job, you can reward them with some candies or ice-cream.

Do the housework together. Let them help you while you’re folding clothes. They can pass you the clothes. And maybe they can fold one or two of them. When you get back home from shopping, they can help you to put away your things and help to wash the dishes after dinner.

Praise them. Remember when you ask your children to help, you should make them feel as if they’re doing a great thing by praising them. You can say something like “What a strong boy you are!” or “You’re so helpful.” It will make them feel happy. And they’ll be ready to help you next time.

Tell the importance of doing chores. Discuss the importance of doing chores with kids. Most parents feel it’s their children’s job to do chores by themselves. Not only help out around the house, but also to share in tasks and responsibilities as members of the family.
