Work is a gift from God

 

Begin early, early enough, so they never remember a time when they did not work. Tap into their desire to be big like daddy and mommy. Praise their efforts. When they say, “I do it myself,” let them. Start with little jobs for little kids. Train them to take care of themselves. Time spent teaching them a task is quality time. Aim for gradual improvement, not immediate perfection. Don’t take over a job for them because they are too slow or too messy. Practice makes perfect.
