As parents..
It is our job to show children what hard work is all about. In our opinion.. hard work is great! It teaches children value and self reliance. Men and women work hard all day everyday. Because of this.. they get paid money to take care of their families and live. Children get to see with this alone that hard work is worth a try!
But how do we teach our kids..
Easy! We give them task to complete such as doing dishes, folding laundry, taking out the trash.. etc! If parents do everything for their children (work wise) the children will expect that for life. Life is not going to clean up after children as adults, and neither should you. Listen parents.. you work very hard to provide a great living for your family. Don’t you want your children to do the same some day? Of course!
The fun side of hard work..
Hard work pays off. Show your child that! Some parents give an allowance for chores. Some parents may take their children for ice cream as a reward. The biggest reward is that your child will learn to take care of themself. This will help them later in life as they grow up! The children of this decade are currently learning how to take-take-take! They need to learn how to give back and be able to manage in the world! Show and teach your child about hard work! You will not regret it!
