Archibald MarwiziDo not do everything for your children — teach them personal responsibility and accountability. This includes using your home environment — the kitchen, the garden, making their room/bed, chores — as training platforms. Prepare them to be independent.
About This Quote
A parent is a person who has taken on a great responsibility in a relationship with a child. This responsibility is to guide, protect, and educate the child from the day that the child is born until the day that the child becomes an adult. Parents must teach their children many things, but one of the most important things parents must teach their children is personal responsibility and accountability. When they are younger, children do not have much responsibility. They are responsible for their own actions, but it is sometimes difficult for a parent to make sure that the child understands personal responsibility and accountability.
As they grow older, however, many children become more responsible and accountable. To help them understand this concept of personal responsibility and accountability, a parent should make a point of training them from an early age in all aspects of living. In our home environment, we prepare our children for life by giving them responsibility for keeping their rooms clean and organized as well as making their beds and doing other chores around the house. We also give them responsibilities as they grow older.
For example, we teach them how to use the kitchen and garden responsibly so that they can become independent adults who can look after themselves when they get older.
