Do you know what all children are capable of doing?

Children have hands, feet, head and are perfectly capable of doing a lot of things - but unfortunately only when their parents really allow it.

We are aware that children must acquire good working habits from an early age. However, parents are the ones most often of their own and those who are capable of making small incapacitated souls because they seem to have children simply do not have to work because they are - children. Then came the school. The first examinations of the maturity of acquired work habits on which children fall regularly. No, the class does not fall, but struggle with tasks, new duties and new obligations simply become too heavy for them. They would rather play and rest because they did not get the right work habits. After all, even now, when they go to school, they have nothing to be tired of housework, it is up to them to sit down and learn.

Well, it's a mistake parents make thinking that childhood should pass without any worries - and children are, they will not have to clean the child behind and carry bags from the store. Or to swing with a knife, scissors and mowers - and not that it's too dangerous, it should be forbidden for children until the age of majority.

Do you think that kids cannot overcome it? Will they cut off or will their hands fall when they carry a garbage bag? Are you so much underestimating those little beings who are not only capable of all this, they are capable of much more. Only when they were given a chance to show it. Eh, how happy children are parents who "want" to work as they walk. Eh, how such children are just proud of their work, because that pride does not give them any play and no lying on the couches! Believe me!

And if you think that your child is not capable of working habits and a bunch of jobs that can be assigned to them on a daily basis, consider again and dash into a small guide to the Montessori School, in which each child's age suggests those home jobs that are both how and how appropriate to their abilities. Of course not everyone needs to be applied, but only to know - children are capable of all this.

The list is generally appropriate for each individual age, and whether some things from your child's list will work or not, does not depend solely on his ability. It primarily depends on whether you underestimate the ability of your child and whether the child is generally learned about minor jobs that will give them importance and that in later life and growing up will be not only independent but also more willing to become equal members of the family, and then societies.

They can and in fact never be late for getting good working habits - just do not think it's a shame that the child does. Unfortunately, there are many parents who raise their children with such attitudes.
