Let them be more responsible!

I got this article on my way to finish my Psychology 2 class project to teach Prejudice to the 4th Grade.  The 4th grade are about 9-10 years old. It might seems a small number or too young to do or help some chores correctly. However this actually a good kids phase to start get involve to have more responsibility. But unfortunately some people would decide to not start to teach and let them to take care their kids responsibilities. This happen because sometime the kids would make mistakes or could be ruin. Is that ever happen, when you cook something and you wont let your kids help because they will ruin the taste or they will get heart? Other thing is when you wont let the kids help to clean up the house because it will not turn out clean enough ? When kids see other people trust and motivate them, that will means a lot. So, despite all of things that have been happen lets we see the future and always learn to be a better person.

Other Tips to Keep in Mind
  • Kids want to help. Take advantage of this natural desire and encourage her excitement about doing kid chores.

  • If he says he's bored, it may be because young children often have a short attention span. He could also be having trouble doing the chore as well as he wants to. Ask him if he’d like to do the chore with you or let him switch off to something else.

  • Get her input on what chores she'd like to try. If it's something too difficult or dangerous for her age, come up with an alternative. She can't chop vegetables, but he can tear lettuce for a salad, for instance.

  • Make chores for kids fun. When we clean our house, we crank up some rock music to get us motivated.

  • Give him lots of praise. At first, your grade-schooler will probably make a mess or not do it right. But rest assured -- he’ll get better with time and practice.
