Housework in the youngest
Keeping the house clean and in order is the task of the whole family. There is no excuse for age and much less for sex. Domestic work is very frustrating and more so if only one member of the family assumes it. Therefore, it is essential that the whole family take care of the housework. In addition, it will help children to learn concepts such as: responsibility, justice and to have a better relationship with their parents.
House chores overwhelm. They are a tedious job, which is often a reason for conflict in the family. They cause stress and are almost never rewarded or recognized for the work and effort put into realizing them. To make them more enjoyable and easy, family members should collaborate.
It is important that your child collaborates in the housework, not only by downloading some work from our shoulders, but because It is good for your psychosocial development. Homework helps foster responsibility, collaboration and a sense of obligation.
How the tasks contribute to the personal development of children

- The degree of maturity. It is a factor to keep in mind, since we can not ask them for tasks that can make them fail. In this way we will take care of your self-esteem and teach you how to do the tasks well.
- Have a positive reinforcement. Every time you do the tasks it is important to have a positive reinforcement with him or a recognition to thank him for his participation.
