Share the Family Workload to Teach Responsibility

There is a lot of work to be done to keep any family running. Not so long ago, there was no question about who was responsible for sharing the family workload. Everyone was needed—from the youngest child to the oldest grandparent—just to keep the family fed.

Today, there are different reasons why children should still share in the family workload. For one, it builds a feeling of a family team. Even more important, teachers say that children who have learned to accept jobs at home are better able to take charge of their own learning.

When children help out at home, they develop a sense of responsibility that will carry over to school ... and later life.
