Responsibilities!

November 16th, 2006

Responsibilities mean letting your children know what is expected of them.  For most families these responsibilities will be either related to school or the household and family.  School responsibilities are primarily doing homework.  If you handle this extremely well before your children become teenagers, you may never need to talk much about this. However, in most families there are times when parents feel the children need some help in structuring this area.  You may need to require that your child work a certain number of hours each afternoon or evening on homework.  some parents require that homework be done before children go out to be with friends; others require that it be finished before watching television.

Household and family responsibilities would include keeping one’s room neat, mowing the lawn, washing the car, doing the dishes, etc.

Parents, if you will look around at adults who are mature and have good work records and continue to have good relationships with their parents, you will find them saying “my parents gave me responsiblities at an early age”.

If your a brand new parent then tuck this information away for your future and consider it food for thought!
