Many parents make their children do chores around the house. For some families, teaching children what to do and how to do chores is easy. But in other families, getting children to do some housework can be a very big problem.

It is a good idea for parents to teach their children at an early age that all family members must work together to make the house clean, and each person must do his or her share(份) of the work. We can do this by starting a plan of chores and responsibilities when children are young.

Chores are good for children even very young ones. Doing chores teaches children many important skills (技能 ) such as working together and being responsible. Jobs also teach children what is fair and doing things for others. The skills and values (价值) from doing chores will do good to children all their lives.
