Should children be made to do chores around the house?
Introduction
Conversation Summary
Many families require the children to do some kind of chores around the house such as cleaning, tidying, taking out the rubbish or washing up. However, the amount of chores that a child has to do can be very different. Some children will have virtually no chores to do whereas others fill a large part of their day doing different chores to help their parents.
When deciding whether children should be doing chores, or how many chores they should be doing, it is often a difficult decision for parents to make. The majority of parents want their children to appreciate the value of hard work, but they also want their children to enjoy their childhood.
