Children Who Do Too Little: Why Your Kids Need to Work Around the House (And How to Get Them to Do It)

"Many parents, rather than fighting their children over chores, would rather do the chores themselves. But Patricia Sprinkle argues convincingly and entertainingly that kids need to do chores. They need to develop basic life skills such as cooking and cleaning. They need to learn responsibility and the value of hard work. In short, they need to learn how to become dependable, capable adults." "In Children Who Do Too Little, Sprinkle shows why and how parents should teach their children household skills and gives suggestions for making teaching easier."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
