Summer is a Perfect Time to Teach Kids Responsibilities
With summer on its way, many
parents anticipate spending more
time with the kids. This may be the
perfect opportunity to teach children
about sharing responsibilities at
home.
When everyone works together,
chores go faster and the work is
more fun. The Soap and Detergent
Association recommends choosing
chores that are appropriate to the
age of the child. Children under five
can pick up toys, keep their rooms
neat and remove unbreakable items
from the dishwasher. With help,
they can water plants and dust low
furniture. Kids ages five to nine can
make their beds, lake care of pet&,
set and clear the tafele, fold the laun
dry and help with simple cooking
tasks. Preteens and young teens can
wash and dry dishes, clean their
rooms, dust and vacuum. Older
teens can tackle the bigger jobs,
' such as cleaning the kitchen and
bathroom, washing windows, cook
ing and food shopping.-*Teenagers
can mow the lawn and lake out the
garbage. Make sure to emphasize
wearing gloves while handling the
trash.
Talk to the family members and
discuss how important it is for
. everyone to help with the chores in
the household. Discuss with the
childicn that they do not get paid
directly for doing chores around the
house, that this is important and a
family duty. Persons do not get paid
for everything. Allowances are fine
but children need to know the
allowance is not necessarily pay
; because everyone needs to help in
? the home chores for comfort, sanita
- tion and self-gratification.
If the family is going on a vaca
tion, the youngsters could help plan
the trip on the agenda. The children
can pack their suitcases. Teach them
how to make a packing list and keep
up with their items on the trip.
Since so many chores revolve
around meal preparation, this is a
good time to teach children about
closing the door. Once children are
ready to begin using the microwave,
parents should take some precau
tions. Install the microwave on a
counter where kids can reach it eas
ily and see the control panel clearly.
Put microwave-safe cookware and
utensils in a special, easily accessi
ble place. Because dishes can get
