托福写作优秀范文之孩子需要做家务吗

In the past in America, children were valuable workers. For example, they helped on the farm or　　枝迟肢in the family business in order to bring in money. Just a couple of generations later, attitudes have　　changed. Now children are hardly expected to work at all. Modern children often don't even do　household chores. This is sad, because I think that they are missing something if they don't help　out at home. Sharing in household tasks benefits children of all ages.
First of all, household tasks build skills. Very young children learn motor skills and classification　猛世旦昌skills when they pick up their toys and put them away. Talking about how to do things helps them　　learn to analyze situations. Older children learn skills they'll need as an adult. Cleaning and　cooking may seem dull, but knowing how to do them well makes life a lot easier. How many　young adults leave for college unable to do their own laundry or cook anything besides a frozen　microwave dinner? It's amazingly common.
When everyone in a family helps out, the family is happier. Nowadays it's common for both　　parents to work. When they come home, they have more work to do. Life is stressful and there's　no time for fun. By sharing household tasks, everyone gains. Children can help their parents with　simple tasks such as picking up their own rooms, putting away their own laundry, starting dinner　occasionally, or taking care of younger siblings. Then the family can relax together, and parents won't feel like servants to their "couch potato" offspring.
The most important thing children learn from helping with household tasks is responsibility.　Handling everyday tasks teaches organization and time management skills. Children learn that　chores have to be completed before they can play, or before ? They get their allowances. Children　who understand that effort pays off will be more successful later in life.
Kids should not work all the time. A happy life needs balance. But if they can successfully handle　tasks at home, they will handle life better too. They will know the satisfaction of doing a good job,　be involved in family life, and become more confident and responsible adults.
