I do laundry all by my-self

During the early years, it is when the kids enjoy doing chores rather than dreaded because it is fun. When kids are helping with daily chores, they feel that they are important members of the family because they also have responsibilities to help with the household task. Therefore, we are giving to our son the opportunity to experience to do routinely chores that he can do regardless he is not walking fully independent yet.

List of Chores assigned to Tommy
- Put his cloth in the hamper every day
- Put trash in the trash can when it is necessary
- Help dust the furniture every Saturday
- Do laundry every Saturday

Watch how Tommy seriously
takes his chore.


Research by Marty Rossmann, emeritus associate professor of family education, shows that involving children in household tasks at an early age can have a positive impact later in life. By involving children in tasks, parents teach their children a sense of responsibility, competence, self-reliance, and self-worth that stays with them throughout their lives.
