Dream - Household chores are never-ending. Starting from cleaning the house, washing dishes, doing laundry, sweeping, mopping, and many more. Often, these responsibilities are delegated to the mother.
The effect is that the mother is very tired, both physically and mentally. Actually, this wouldn't happen if there was a division of household chores. The older children are involved and given the responsibility to maintain the comfort of the house.
"How to do it? Morgan Cutlip, a psychologist, shares a proven strategy for teaching children about independence and helping with household chores."
Father and mother may be able to apply it at home. Start by giving the child the responsibility of the room in the house. Ask the child to maintain the cleanliness and comfort of the room for the comfort of the family members at home.
The trick of dividing tasks will teach children how to observe what is happening, take initiative on their own, and adopt the mentality that home is a shared space. "Parents can give children a zone in the house to manage. For example, the eldest child is responsible for the living room. Their task is to regularly check it, observe what is out of place, and put it back together. Each of our children has a shared space that belongs to them, and it is their zone. This greatly helps in taking initiative and becoming a cohesive team," said Cutlip.
Cutlip revealed that the trick was inspired by a conversation with one of his friends who grew up in Denmark. Danish people have a very different culture where the mental burden on mothers is not like in other countries in general.
One of the reasons is that children are given more responsibilities as they grow up. This helps children learn how to take initiative and be a solid team within the family.
"Of course, implementing it at home won't immediately succeed. First, you can invite the child to discuss and make agreements together. Ask for their opinions and let them choose their own tasks and responsibilities at home. Second, write down each child's tasks in detail. Print them on paper and stick them on the wall as a reminder. Third, also talk about the consequences if the child doesn't do their tasks."
"When applying it at home and it doesn't go smoothly, don't give up immediately. Children need consistency, keep doing what has been agreed upon, in 2 or 3 months the child will definitely get used to their tasks, although there may be a lot of protests. Good luck, dad, mom.
