Parents, don't do everything for your children. Let them take active part in doing the household chores. Let them have their share in the tasks at home.
If they do their share in the household chores consistently, they become responsible. If they become consistent in being responsible, later on, they will become reliable. If they become consistent in being reliable, later on, they will become independent.
Independent children are children with strong values. The values they need to learn should start at home, and you are their first TEACHERS. So doing everything for them is actually not love at all. You are making them weak and irresponsible by doing so.
Involve them in planning. Involve them in budgetting. Involve them in thinking of solutions to the concerns and problems of the family. Have a family weekly meeting and planning. Let their mind think of ways they could do to help solve problems within your family. Stretch their spirit and thinking ability by involving them in family matters.
If they are responsible at home, when they grow up, all they would do for others won't just be for a show. Sincerity and genuineness comes from what you have privately started learning and doing consistently at home before being shared or done in public.
When you teach your children to become responsible with their assigned household chores, you are making your house........ a HOME 🏡.
