He would take a small blanket (毯子),warm it up and wrap it around my small cold feet with his loving hands. When I was worried about something, Daddy would often hand me a cup of hot milk and talk with me. He would say “The best is always to come, my dear.” to relax my heart.

Does anybody like doing housework Should children do housework For some children, doing housework may be their last choice. For many parents, getting their children to do some housework is also one big headache. However, a Malaysian mother found a creative way.
Nurofiza came up with a reward system (奖励制度) for her two sons at home and posted it online. She chose some housework and gave them money for what they did. Nurafiza also opened a “mini supermarket” at home for her kids. They could buy candies at her mini market from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. The money she gave to her kids was a kind of prop (道具).
Because of the system, Nurafiza’s children are now more willing to do housework. Her post has got over 15,000 likes and has been shared over 27,000 times online. Many parents have begun to imitate her. In other words, they use the same way to teach their children.
In fact, doing housework can play a very important role in children’s growth. First, it teaches children necessary skills for living, such as cooking and cleaning. Second, it is a good way to help children keep healthy. Third, it creates possibilities (可能) for parents and children to be closer. Finally, a child can grow into a responsible (有责任感的) and independent (独立的) person by helping with the housework.

Many parents do not let their children do housework because they want their children to focus on their studies. This thought must be changed. 1
Housework builds children’s responsibility (责任).
Children are a part of the family, so it is clear that they also have responsibility for doing housework. 2 The adults who did housework at age 3 or 4 are likely to be successful in their mid-20s because they have more responsibility for other areas of their lives.

It is very bad when children cannot do housework. They can just stand there and see their parents do chores. Sharing housework helps make everyone be in good moods. Therefore, start doing housework with children!
Housework makes children independent.

A few days ago, I ran into a stranger as he passed by. I said sorry to him, and he said, “Excuse me too. I wasn’t even noticing you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went on our ways after saying goodbye.
Later in the kitchen at home, as I cooked our meal, my daughter Betty walked up to me, very quietly. When I turned around, I nearly knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted angrily. She ran away, crying.
That night, when I lay in bed, my husband said to me, “You were so rude to Betty. Go and check the kitchen floor, and you’ll find some flowers there. Betty brought those for you. She picked them herself—pink, yellow, and your favourite blue.”
When I heard this, I thought deeply, “While meeting with a stranger, I was calm and polite; but with my daughter, I was not patient.” I felt sad and tears began to fall.
I quietly went to Betty’s bed, “My dear,” I said, “are these the flowers you picked for me ” She smiled, “I found them by the tree. I knew you’d like them, especially the blue.” I said, “I am so sorry that I treated (对待) you that way today. ” And she whispered (悄声说), “Mommy, that’s okay—I still love you anyway.” I kissed her and said, “I love you too and I do love the flowers.”
That day Betty gave me a lesson on how to get along with each other in the family. I spent much time on work before and didn’t realize how important family life was. I decided to do better in the future.

Many children don’t like doing chores. But asking children to do chores is more than just getting the house cleaned. It can also help children to be independent and responsible.
Luckily, there is an app to help. The app You Rule Chores lets kids get up from the sofa and do chores. Through smartphone games, the app turns children into housework players. “It is difficult to get kids to do work around the house. We made the app to teach kids self-control, which is very important to their future,” one of the app engineers said.
The games are fun, and the app is super easy to use. You Rule Chores is my favourite chore app so far.—Sam, a middle school student Young kids like to help out around the house, but fewer parents hear the words “What can I do to help ” from their older kids. A study shows that only 65% of the kids aged 16 to 18 take part in chores.
You Rule Chores is an app the whole family will benefit from (从中受益). Now my kids often compete to see who can do more housework.—Brooke, a mother of three kids
How to use You Rule Chores First, each child needs to choose one of the app’s characters. Then the child can start to do chores. Once he finishes it, he can get some coins from the app. He can use them to buy things from the online store.
How to use You Rule Chores
_______ → Do chores → Get coins → Buy things online

Should parents ask their children to do chores Some don’t think that children should do chores, because they think children are too young. But many people think that children should do chores.
In fact, children can get a sense of happiness when they do chores. Parents should help children learn to do housework that they will have to do when they live on their own.
Most experts agree that children can learn a lot from doing chores. However, parents should ask the child to do chores at the right time. Parents shouldn’t ask a schoolboy to cook when he is doing his homework. And parents shouldn’t ask their children to do all chores. Children should do chores for half an hour every day.
The chores should suit (适合) the child. When a child does what his parents ask him to do happily, he will probably have the feeling of growing up. Parents can teach children something useful by doing chores. And please make sure that parents also do chores. Parents are children’s good models (榜样). If parents don’t keep the house clean, children won’t find any reason to do chores.
