Doing Jobs
In the home each child should have some chores to do. Some of the work should be done just because a child is part of the family. Some could be done for him to be given a reward such as extra pocket money.
A friend who has two girls, who like to contribute to the decision making of the family, thought of using a rotating wheel for jobs. They wanted to have a variety of activities to do and to learn more skills.
The family names were placed around the outer wheel and the inner wheel was rotated periodically to change the tasks for each member.
Support Your Partner
When making decisions about your child’s activities, work with your partner and be supportive of his decisions and expect him to be supportive of yours.
There is no harm in allowing your child to discuss and negotiate with you so that at times a compromise can be made, but do not allow your child to manipulate one adult against another. You must be involved and be prepared to stand firm if necessary. Your child will trust you and will thank you in future years.
They Have Not Lived Before
Intelligence and wisdom are not the same. Intelligence and experience are not the same. Often a bright child may make a mistake because you assumed she understood your instructions. But really your instructions may not have been specific enough.
One bright girl I know was sent down the street to buy two ounces of garlic for her mother’s special tomato sauce recipe. She returned with two ounces of garlic sausage. She actually did not know what garlic was.
A little later she was asked to make a rice pudding. She followed the recipe precisely except that she used pearl barley in the pudding instead of rice.
"How could anyone so clever be so stupid?" Her mother was yelling angrily. It was not really the fault of the child because the parent had failed to realise that her daughter lacked experience and so she had failed to give her clear instructions. In fact, the child had not lived before and each task was completely new to her.
