For some parents it may not be well seen to involve children in household chores which is a serious error, many think that the most important thing is that they carry out their school activities, they consider that while they fulfill their school obligations the They can dedicate free time to themselves, to play or do other funnier activities.
While it is true that children need to devote most of their time to school activities, on the other hand this is no excuse for them not to do chores at home, such as pick up clothes, take out the garbage, wash the dishes , ordering their toys or making the bed, in fact it is proven that children who help their parents with household chores are more self-confident and independent.
The benefits of helping at home are many, among them I can name the following:
• They learn the sense of responsibility by sharing certain tasks with their parents.
• Promotes family unity, they learn to value good times in the family.
